Accident records from Lebanon are good and most have been made available recently. Most investigations were made by the MAC and so achieve an unusual level of independence.
The threat in Lebanon has changed from Israeli laid minefields to Israeli dispersed submunitions, and clearance procedures have changed accordingly. A high percentage of "missed devices" featured in recent investigations are mainly of submunitions missed using inappropriate search procedures that clearly failed to achieve "clearance" as defined in the international standards.
