Suspicions that Israel has used illegal white phosphorous
Beirut – A group of international doctors will examine samples of some Lebanese victims from Israel’s bombings to determine what product caused abnormal wounds, according to the Lebanese radio station Futuro.
Some of the hospitalized present burns in the bones, but not on the skin, something that the Lebanese doctors, who have worked in numerous battles, consider abnormal.
The Medical College of Lebanon decided to solicit, once the existence of the abnormal wounds were confirmed, foreign analysis given the impossibility to carry it out in the country, whose health centers are overloaded with work.
Various doctors who work in the south Lebanon hospitals explained during the week that some of the victims of the bombings presented “wounds never seen” and expressed lack of knowledge of the product that could have caused such wounds.
The Lebanese press already denounced last week that the Israeli military was using white phosphorous bombs (prohibited by international legislation) in its attacks.
White phosphorous is a yellowish substance that burns when exposed to oxygen at a temperature of more than 30 degrees [centigrade], and the fire it causes is difficult to extinguish and leaves a heavy smoke.
