Here’s the key parts, but I urge you to read the entire report:
Doctors in Gaza have reported previously unseen injuries from Israeli weapons that cause severe burning and deep internal wounds often resulting in amputations or death. The injuries were first seen in July, when the Israeli military launched a series of operations in Gaza following the capture of an Israeli soldier by Palestinian militants.
Doctors said that, unlike traditional combat injuries from shells or bullets, there were no large shrapnel pieces found in the patients’ bodies and there appeared to be a “dusting” on severely damaged internal organs.
“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.”

Photographs of some of the dead from Shifa hospital showed bodies that had been melted and blackened beyond recognition. Others showed internal bleeding without signs of shrapnel wounds. In several cases doctors amputated badly burnt limbs.

Tissue samples from patients in Gaza were given to journalists from the Italian television channel RAI. In a documentary shown last week, the channel said the injuries appeared similar to the effects of the Dime. An Italian laboratory that analysed the samples reportedly said its results were “compatible with the hypothesis” that a Dime weapon was involved.

The weapon is new and in the US is still in the early stages of development. It has a carbon-fibre casing and contains fine tungsten particles rather than ordinary metal shrapnel. It causes a very powerful blast, but with a much more limited radius than other explosives.
This sounds like some new sort of chemical weapon. What I have never been able to understand is why Israel is allowed to posses or even use such weapons and never have to answer about it. Israel has had a nuclear program for decades now. They don’t admit it, the world knows it but refuses to admit it, so everyone is in denial. With nation’s like Israel following this path, is it no wonder why we have problems with Iran and North Korea today? Perhaps if everyone came clean and those that don’t faced serious sanctions, then things will eventually get better. Every nation should be treated fairly and not the way the U.S. wants them treated. After all – if Israel keeps doing stuff like this, the tensions between the Muslim and Christian worlds will continue to grow.
