A human rights group has accused Israel of carrying out indiscriminate air strikes that killed hundreds of civilians during the 2006 Lebanon war.
Human Rights Watch said Israel showed "reckless indifference" to the fate of civilians and queried its argument that Hezbollah used them as human shields.
A spokesman for the Israeli government insisted its forces had acted lawfully.
More than 1,125 Lebanese died during the 34-day conflict, as well as 119 Israeli soldiers and 40 civilians.
Last week, the New-York based group criticised Hezbollah for "indiscriminately and at times deliberately" attacking Israeli civilians.
It also said the Shia movement had failed to take precautions to spare civilians during the conflict when it fired rockets from populated areas and deployed its forces in residential areas.
2000 years of conflict in the middle east, 500 years of western meddling and fundamentalist governments, its small wonder that there havent been more atrocities than there are. Ive no doubt that Isreal did show "reckless indifference" but when has that ever been something new?
