Hanan Ashrawi: Israel conducting ‘deliberate massacre’ in Gaza
War in Context
… with attention to the unseen
The Israeli military is using flechette shells, which spray out thousands of tiny and potentially lethal metal darts, in a densely populated Gaza.
According to Mads Gilbert, a Norwegian doctor in Gaza, the Israelis are also using DIME bombs, which contain tungsten, a cancer-causing metal that helps to produce incredibly destructive blasts which slice through flesh and bone, often decapitating the lower limbs of people within the blast radius.
It’s clear the Israelis are trying to inflict as much damage to civilians as possible and get “field tested” experience so they can profit when selling these weapons on the international market.
