[National Review] Deroy Murdock - Many of the Hizballah missiles have warheads filled with ball bearings. Independent photojournalist Lenny Maschkowski has documented the devastation that these steel balls do. His images appear on websites, and vividly illustrate Hizballah's viciousness. "It's amazing how far these little ball bearings go," says the 44-year-old Israeli native. "They have a deadly radius of around 600 meters [some 1,950 feet]. If you are close and get hit by many ball bearings, you end up like a sieve," Maschkowski says. "If you are very far away, and you only get hit by a few, it would be like suffering bullet injuries."
