4. This appears to be an outright lie. There are many pictures of...
...the cluster bomblets and sometimes full bomb cases which were air-dropped on Lebanon. Like this one:

A different angle is in this story from the BBC. There are also other photos, and bigger photos of these air-dropped munitions. This has been written on extensively by the BBC, among others, which even indicate which models of air-dropped bombs were used.

To insinuate that Israel didn't use air-dropped cluster munitions is, simply, factually untrue based on the evidence. Of course, it's either quibbling or blame-pointing- cluster bombs, bombs which contain a large number of smaller bombs used for area denial, were used in large numbers by Israel during their attack on Lebanon.
