the terrorists are getting cluster bombs

The NYT off-leads Israel asking the U.S. to speed up delivery of a cluster-bomb rocket system that Israel thinks could help against Hezbollah. State Department officials, who presumably tipped the Times, are opposing the delivery because of the likelihood of civilian casualties. As the Times puts it, the rockets "carry hundreds of grenade-like bomblets that scatter and explode over a broad area." The U.S. blocked the sale of cluster bombs to Israel back in the 1980s after concluding that Israel used them in civilian areas.
