We pray for that to happen because people after the war can't tolerate anymore violence and suffering, and the country that launched the cluster bombs owns maps indicating the location of these bombs, and when this country realizes that it is legally required to remove the bombs, it will think a million times before firing them again.

The next paragraph is from the Daily Star newspaper (with some updates in figures):

During the 34-day war with Israel in 2006, the Jewish state dropped around four million cluster bombs over South Lebanon, mostly during the conflict's final 72 hours. Around 500,000 of those munitions did not explode, and have killed or seriously injured hundreds of civilians and deminers since the conflict ended. Landmines dating back from Israel's occupation and from Lebanon's 1975-1990 civil war also remain scattered. "Today there are over 2 million anti-personnel mines [including cluster munitions] in the South of Lebanon.
