Dr. Mads Gilbert: Unconventional weapons used against Gazans
Unconventional weapons used against Gazans
Mon, 05 Jan 2009
By Akram al-Sattari, Press TV, Gaza

Doctor Mads Gilbert is a member of a Norwegian triage medical team present in the besieged Gaza Strip. The team has exposed that Israel has used depleted uranium weapons in its war on the impoverished territory which is home to 1.5 million Palestinians. He described the conditions inside Gaza in an exclusive Press TV interview.

Press TV: What can you tell about the uranium findings?

Dr. Mads Gilbert:The findings about the uranium I cannot tell you much about, but I can tell you that we have clear evidence that the Israelis are using a new type of very high explosive weapons which are called Dense Inert Metal Explosive (DIME) and are made out of a tungsten alloy.

These weapons have an enormous power to explode.

The power of the explosion dissipates very quickly and the strength does not travel long, maybe 10 meters, but those humans who are hit by this explosion, this pressure wave are cut in pieces.

This was first used in Lebanon in 2006, it was used here in Gaza in 2006 and the injuries that we see in Shifa now, many many of them I suspect and we all suspect are the effect of DIME weapons used by the Israelis.

1. oh brother. this again.
there's no evidence that Israel is using DIME weapons. There wasn't in 2006, and there are always these accusations that Israel is using diabolical new weapons.
