'Chemical' warhead fired at Israel

From: Reuters From correspondents in Gaza

June 29, 2006

GUNMEN in the Gaza Strip had fired a rocket tipped with a chemical warhead at Israel early today, a spokesman said.

The Israeli army had no immediate comment on the claim by the spokesman from the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, an armed wing of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah movement. The group had recently claimed to possess about 20 biological warheads for the makeshift rockets commonly fired from Gaza at Israeli towns.

This was the first time the group had claimed firing such a rocket.

"The al-Aqsa Brigades have fired one rocket with a chemical warhead" at southern Israel, Abu Qusai, a spokesman for the group, said in Gaza.

It may be breaking news from one side of the dispute, but Israel says it didn't happen.

From your link:

An Israeli military spokeswoman said the army had not detected that any such rocket was fired, nor was there any report of such a weapon hitting Israel.

Gassing the Jews is another suicidal move by the Palestinians. Provocation to genocidal violence seems to be thier only policy.
Even if they were telling the truth, I'd suspect the Israelis would be covering it up to prevent things from getting out of hand.
