Israel uses depleted uranium against Palestinians in Gaza
London, January 26, 2010 (Pal Telegraph) - A London-based Palestinian activist announced that the buildings damaged in the Gaza Strip after the Israeli onslaught last year all showed signs of contamination with depleted uranium.
"The ruined buildings and debris left after the Israeli attack on Gaza are contaminated with depleted uranium and similar types of weapons," said Sameh Habeeb, spokesperson for the Palestinian Return Center in London.
The activist quoted international nuclear experts as saying that the contaminated materials will be severely destructive and hazardous to Palestinian residents in the long run.
Habeeb criticized the United Nations for its inefficiency in providing the Palestinian people with proper services, saying that the international body has avoided proper measures to clean the contaminated areas.
The activist called on the UN to launch a probe into the type of weapons used by the Israeli troops during the 22-day war on Gaza last year.
Israel began waging war on the Gaza Strip on Dec. 27, 2008, and managed to kill a total 95 resistance fighters. Its major targets, however, were residential areas, mosques and medical centers.
The full-scale offensive led to the death of at least 1,400 Palestinian civilians, many of them women and children. Officials from various international bodies have confirmed that Tel Aviv resorted to unconventional weapons and terror tactics. Israel's casualties in the conflict were estimated at 13, including 10 military personnel.
The Israeli attack on Gaza is estimated by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics to have caused nearly $2 billion worth of damage.
