Chemical Weapons used against Lebanese Civilians

Global Research

US military intelligence sources have told WMR that the artillery shell shown below being used by an Israel Defense Force member in Lebanon, is a type of dual and multi-use weapon the neocons falsely accused Saddam Hussein of possessing. Although the canister artillery shell is marketed as an anti-land mine fuel-air bomb, its payload can also include the chemicals used in thermobaric bombs, white phosphorous weapons, and chemical weapons. Thermobaric bombs contain polymer-bonded explosives or solid fuel-air explosives in their payloads. Thermobarics use a fuse munition unit (FMU) such as that seen on the nose of the Israeli artillery shell. The shell penetrates buildings, underground shelters, or tunnels, creating such a blast pressure that all the oxygen is sucked out from the spaces and the lungs of anyone who happens to be in proximity. Israel's use of such "vacuum" weapons has been reported from across Lebanon.

Yet Another Breach of International Law and Human Rights by the Israeli's.

I wonder how many more will it take, for the so-called International Community to Act.

If these Shells were fired by ANY Arab/Muslim Nation, they would quickly be labelled as Terrorist/Dictatorship Regimes.

But in the Case of Israel - they are just Defending themselves.

Firing Chemical Weapons is the same thing Saddam did - which makes Israel and the current regime a Dictatorship/Terrorost one, which SHOULD be removed!

So the shell CAN hold chemical warheads? Well guess what buddy... an F-16 can carry a tactical nuclear weapon. That doesn't mean that is always does. Claiming someone is using chemical weapons is different to proving someone is using chemical weapons. Eye witness acounts don't count as proof.

For example it has been proven that Iraq has used chemical weapons in the past and held over 500 which have been confiscated since the start of the second gulf war.

From the Article:

The photo from Sidon of a burnt and badly disfigured young Lebanese girl is a telltale sign of white phosphorous use by the Israelis. Similar photos from Fallujah were shown to this editor by a top investigative reporter for Italy's RAI television network.

U.S. military intelligence experts believe the ease at which the Israeli soldier is handling the artillery shell is an indication that the payload contains light-weight gas and not a fuel-air mixture or thermobaric bomb components. WMR continues to receive reports from Lebanon of depleted uranium shells being used by the Israelis.
