Breaking: New Massacre Right Now, 'Almost Half Gaza City Covered With White Phosphorus Gas'
U.S.-backed Israeli Aparthieid and genocide have reached a record hgh in Gaza. Since July 7, Israel has killed at least 640 Palestinians in #Gaza, including over 155 children. Most victims have been women, children and the elderly.
White phosphorous (WP) is a powerful incendiary weapon. It burns fiercely, igniting cloth, fuel, ammunition and other combustibles. Smoke-producing white phosphorus munitions are common, particularly as smoke grenades for infantry, loaded in grenade launchers on tanks and other armored vehicles, or part of the ammunition for artillery or mortars.
WP incendiaries disburse a cloud of white phosphorous dust that ignites at 86 degrees and will not stop burning until its oxygen supply is cut. When WP dust contacts the human body, approximately 98.6 degrees, it burns… and burns… and burns. People killed or wounded by WP look like they’ve been dipped in acid.
Israel has used another cancer-inducing bombs, such DIME bombs in Gaza.
“In need of defending themselves, Gazans have developed some weapons that are incomparable to Israel’s high-tech weaponry.” the Daliy Sabah reported Tuesday.
“The whole world is aware of the magnitude of Israel’s arms inventory and also it is known that Israel has nuclear bombs. Israel, which has many fighter jets, nuclear bombs and an advanced air defense system, has never avoided using cancer-inducing bombs that are prohibited to use like white phosphorous bombs.
“Former head of the Israeli parliament, Yaakov Ederi, confirmed that the Israeli army used white phosphorous bombs against Lebanon in 2006.”

Breaking: Massacre Happening Now: ‘Half Gaza City Covered With White Phosphorus Gas’

Multiple reports and witnesses in Gaza have confirmed that almost half of Gaza city is now covered with white phosphorus gas, according to tweets late Tuesday afternoon, yet unconfirmed, as bombs are exploding, people screaming and crying in multiple airstrikes that hit less than an hour ago, around 7:15 PM EST Tuesday.
It had been confirmed that planes dropped phosphorus gas Sunday and have been using other illegal weapons in the massacre of the people of Gaza, premeditated murder of thousands of people, mostly women and children according to Doctors Without Borders.
Israeli occupation forces are using lethal and internationally banned weapons in their aggression against Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, experts and witnesses said this morning.
Israeli warplanes had also fired white phosphorus munition Sunday in the eastern Gaza Strip.
One tweet about half of Gaza City now covered with white phosphorous gas as of Tuesday afternoon:
“White phosphorus burns fiercely and can set cloth, fuel, ammunition and other materials on fire, and cause serious burns or death. It was heavily used by Israel during its savage war on Gaza in 2008/2009, and caused many severe casualties,” reports the Middle East Monitor.
Atomic bombing raids of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not history’s deadliest bomb attacks. On March 9, 1945, an incendiary raid on Tokyo killed 100,000 Japanese, leaving approximately 1 million more homeless – in a single night.
By 1980, the civilized world determined that burning civilians was unacceptable, morally wrong. That year, a new section added to the Geneva Convention banned the use of incendiaries on or near civilians, making it a crime.
Palestinians and reporters who visited the scene are reporting Israel’s war crime scenes of total devastation.
