Decades of contamination and cancer await the people of Lebanon and Gaza as Israel use depleted uranium in civilian areas. Right, so in what is the latest example of banned chemical weapons being used by the Israeli army, Israel now stands accused of dropping depleted uranium on Beirut, a munition that causes devastating damage to lives and the environment for years, the fallout from using such weaponry well known from the Iraq War, where the US used depleted uranium warheads to horrifying consequence. This isn’t the only chemical weapon attack Israel have been caught using either as the weaponisation of asbestos by the IDF in Gaza will likely blight lives for years going forwards as well. The depths of depravity Israel are now sinking too risk health issues, ailments, and unliveable areas being created for years to come and still, the world seems unable to stop them. Right, so depleted uranium being used in Lebanon now, apparently all the white phosphorus being used to bomb Beirut with just wasn’t a big enough of a war crime apparently, so now Israel have gone radioactive instead. Depleted uranium warheads are internationally banned as you might imagine they should be and the claim Israel are using such munitions is coming from the Syndicate of Chemists in Lebanon who have stated that the scale of destruction and the depth of penetration, which has been recorded as dozens of metres is proof of the munitions being used. The Lebanese Association of Social Medicine in Lebanon concurs with that assessment and in order to prove that Israel are using such horrendous weapons on civilian areas, has requested samples be taken from the bomb sites in order to provide evidence for a United Nations International Investigation, as this excerpt from The Cradle explains: ‘President of the Lebanese Association of Social Medicine Raif Reda called for “collecting samples from the bombing sites and sending reports to the United Nations so the world can witness the bloody, criminal history of the Zionist enemy,” according to statements reported by the National News Agency (NNA). Warheads made with depleted uranium casings are designed to penetrate deep fortifications, causing significant destruction and releasing toxic gases. They are also radioactive and have been linked to massive increases in cancer rates in Iraq following the US wars on that country in 1991 and 2003. Lebanese newspaper L'Orient Today reports that Israeli air forces may have used depleted uranium bombs when its air force dropped 80 one-ton (2,000lb) bombs on at least four residential buildings in Beirut's southern suburbs on September 27 to kill Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. The New York Times notes that a video released by the Israeli army showed that the warplanes that flew the mission to assassinate Nasrallah were each equipped with six US-made BLU-109 missiles. L'Orient Today notes that according to a report from the US Naval Institute, the most common type of explosives inside these missiles are bombs classified as GBU-31... ***Subscribe to the channel here*** ►ABOUT ME: Hi, I'm Damien Willey.
