Zionist Entity Using Internationally-Banned Weapons in Gaza Assault
The Zionist entity is using internationally-proscribed weapons in Gaza, Palestinian doctors and rights activists said.
They said that horrific images of the Palestinian victims of recent Israeli airstrikes on the besieged Strip prove that the occupation entity uses internationally-banned weapons.
Palestinian Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qodra said the bodies of most victims had been incinerated, while others had been completely torn apart.
He said Israel was deploying weapons that destroy the bodies of their victims, noting that a preliminary survey of victims’ bodies revealed the horrific nature of the weapons being used in Israel’s ongoing onslaught on Gaza.
“Israel used internationally-banned weapons in its two previous wars on Gaza,” al-Qodra told Anadolu Agency. “The same weapons are being used now.”
He called on international rights organizations to bring Israel to account for what he called “its continual violations” against the Palestinian people.
Meanwhile, eyewitnesses have reported that Israeli airstrikes had incinerated the bodies of Palestinians who happened to be near targeted sites.
Israeli warplanes, they added, were using missiles that destroy their victims’ bodies, often cutting them to pieces.
Some activists posted photos of victims online, advising the fainthearted not to look at them.
Photos showed Palestinians whose limbs had been blown off and others whose bodies looked as if they had been subject to chemical attack.
More than 70 Martyrs where the Zionist Entity’s brutal aggression continue on Gaza
The number of martyrs in the besieged Gaza strip passes 70 on Thursday as the occupation forces goes on with their brutal offensive, staging dozens of air raids.
Eight Palestinians were martyred Wednesday overnight when Israeli air forces struck a café in Khan Yousnes, raising the death toll of the offensive to 75 martyrs and more than 500 injured.
Earlier on Wednesday night, a Palestinian journalist, Hamed Shehab, was martyred as the IOF targeted his Press car.
For its part, the occupation army announced it has staged more than 300 air raids overnight Wednesday.
“We aimed at 322 targets in Gaza overnight, taking to 750 the total number of targets hit by the army since the start of Operation Protective Edge,” army spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerner told journalists in a telephone conference.
He noted that a ground assault was still being considered.
“More than 20,000 reservists have been recruited but a ground assault would be the last option if we judge it necessary,” he said.
The Zionist cabinet has authorized the call-up of 40,000 reservists for a ground operation. However such operation seems to be catastrophic to the occupation forces since it may lead to scores of deaths among them.
