From: "Rich Gauszka" 

So the 1996 Qana massacre of civilians was caused by Israeli pop tarts?

I reckon one can count the massacre of the crew of the USS Liberty a military target

How about

http://www.indymedia.ie/article/77507
Researchers on the ground in Lebanon confirmed that a cluster munitions
attack on the village of Blida on July 19 killed one and wounded at least
12 civilians, including seven children. Human Rights Watch researchers also
photographed cluster munitions in the arsenal of Israeli artillery teams on
the Israel-Lebanon border.

According to eyewitnesses and survivors of the attack interviewed by Human
Rights Watch, Israel fired several artillery-fired cluster munitions at
Blida around 3 p.m. on July 19. The witnesses described how the artillery
shells dropped hundreds of cluster submunitions on the village. They
clearly described the submunitions as smaller projectiles that emerged from
their larger shells.
