Indicis que Israel utilitza armes no-convencionals

Les forces armades israelites (IDF) podrien estar utilitzant armes no-convencionals contra els habitants de Gaza, armes tals com bombes de fòsfor i bombes clúster.



Una metge destacada a Gaza, Mona El-Farra, escriu al seu blog:

the medical teams face new sort of burns , thier is a possibility that israel uses white phosphorus against civilians, INVESTIGATION IS NEEDED AT ONCE .

Mads Gilbert, un metge norueg que es troba a Gaza, creu que Israel està utilitzant un tipus d'arma experimental, concretament explosius de metall inert dens (DIME). Aquests explosius contenen una pols molt densa d'una aleació de tungstè (HMTA):

I can tell you that we have clear evidence that the Israelis are using a new type of very high explosive weapons which are called Dense Inert Metal Explosive (DIME) and are made out of a tungsten alloy.

These weapons have an enormous power to explode.

The power of the explosion dissipates very quickly and the strength does not travel long, maybe 10 meters, but those humans who are hit by this explosion, this pressure wave are cut in pieces.

This was first used in Lebanon in 2006, it was used here in Gaza in 2006 and the injuries that we see in Shifa [Hospital] now, many many of them I suspect and we all suspect are the effect of DIME weapons used by the Israelis.

On the long term, these weapons will have a cancer effect on those who survive. They will develop cancer we suspect. There has been very little research on this but some research has been among other places in the United States, which show that these weapons have a high tendency to develop cancer. So they kill and those who survive risk having cancer.

El diari The Guardian cita altres casos:

"Bodies arrived severely fragmented, melted and disfigured," said Jumaa Saqa'a, a doctor at Shifa hospital, the main casualty hospital in Gaza City. "We found internal burning of organs, while externally there were minute pieces of shrapnel. When we opened many of the injured people we found dusting on the internal organs."

[...]

[Beit Lahiya, at the Kamal Odwan Hospital] too found patients with severe internal injuries without signs of any large shrapnel pieces. Often there was severe burning. "There was burning, big raw areas of charred flesh," he said. "This must be related to the type of explosive material."
