Hezbollah’s use of cluster munitions against Israel may be war crime, HRW says in rare condemnation

Hezbollah launched cluster munitions at civilian towns in northern Israel on March 4 and March 15, 2026, in response to the assassination of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Human Rights Watch condemned the use of cluster munitions, stating they are 'inherently indiscriminate' and can kill and injure civilians long after hostilities conclude.
