I have a vague recollection about people getting all up in arms over the sub munitions that MLRS distributes over a battlefield (or can, depends on what is in the rocket), and I think that the Israelis came in for a lot of criticism for something similar to that back in the 00's when they had a scrap with Hezbollah, as regards sub munitions.
US stopped making cluster munitions in 2007, I suspect any short range missiles have expired.
The website showed the stockpiles and only the medium range rockets were still held.
However other countries may still have <70km stockpiles.
