Beirut, once known as ‘the Paris of the Middle East,’ now lies devastated amidst the aftermath of the Siege of Beirut. The city has been reduced to ruins, with much of the destruction attributed to bombs, notably American-made cluster bombs. Professor Lamb, a US investigator, is examining allegations that Israel violated agreements by deploying these weapons in civilian areas. The potential repercussions include a halt in further arms sales to Israel, though for the residents of Beirut, who face shortages of essentials like gas, food, and blankets, this offers little comfort.
