It has been proven that Israel used phosphorus bombs.
ISRAELOnce again it has been revealed that Israel’s brutality in its attacks against the Palestinians in Gaza knows no limits. Amnesty International has published evidence of white phosphorus used by the Israeli army in densely populated civilian areas of the city. According to the statement, Amnesty International’s Crisis Response Program has gathered compelling evidence that the Israeli military dropped phosphorus bombs that burst people’s lungs and caused catastrophic deaths. Videos and photographs confirmed by the organization’s Crisis Evidence Laboratory show that Israel used white phosphorus in Gaza, which it has bombed since October 7.
THE BOMBS SPOKE IN SDEROT
Among the evidence collected was a photograph of M825 and M825A1 artillery shells labeled D528, which the US Department of Defense Identification Code uses for “white phosphorus-based ammunition,” taken by photojournalist Anadolu Agency (AA) Mustafa Al-Kharouf on October 9. The M109 howitzers, with a range of 18 to 22 kilometers, stationed in Sderot, put the northern half of the Gaza Strip within the Israeli army’s attack range.
Destroys the lungs: White phosphorus smoke, the use of which is prohibited in areas with dense civilian populations, causes sudden injuries to the lungs when inhaled, leaving people breathless and causing suffocation. It burns the skin and causes fires because it ignites easily upon contact with oxygen.
Children suffer the most from the attacks on Gaza. A seriously injured girl had difficulty getting to the hospital.
Recent videos posted on social media show white phosphorus ammunition being used along with high-explosive artillery shells. Artillery shells were reported to release particles that produce dense white smoke when exploding in the air, consistent with the use of M825 and M825A1 artillery shells. (AA)
