Israel uses White Phosphorous on Gaza



Dude, I saw these shells being used at night in Gaza on the Israel Defense Force web site: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article5447590.ece
I was wondering what kind of shell exploded like fireworks. It appears that they are white phosphorous. Not good: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article5470047.ece

"In the border village of Khouza, local witnesses said Israeli forces fired phosphorous shells at a row of houses, setting them on fire. One woman died and at least 100 others were injured in that attack, health officials said. The Israeli military denied the attack took place. "

This is why we need foreign observers to determine who is lying. On this issue it clearly appears that Israel is lying. That does not make terrorism right or Hamas’ campaign to start shit as soon as Israel pulled out of Gaza right but it does mean that the use of white phosphorous on civilians should stop.
