A farmer holds a deactivated cluster submunition. A cluster munition canister can contain hundreds of submunitions that scatter over a wide area. Not much larger then a flashlight battery, this model (called an M42) is designed to injure and kill infantrymen and damage armoured vehicles. The United Nations estimates that hundreds of thousands of submunitions in Lebanon did not detonate. Of the over 200 civilian victims since the end of the war, the majority of injuries and deaths were due to such submunitions.
