The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon peacekeepers in cooperation with the Army’s Mine Action Center have been manning zones in south Lebanon to remove cluster-bombs.
Other reports suggested it could be an Israeli land mine or a Palestinian explosive . Palestinians held several bases in the Arqoub region in 1982.
