An investigative report to be aired on Italian television today raises the possibility that Israel has used an experimental weapon in the Gaza Strip in recent months, causing especially serious physical injuries, such as amputated limbs and severe burns. The weapon is similar to one developed by the U.S. military called DIME, which causes a powerful and lethal blast, but only within a relatively small radius.
The investigation, by Rai24news, follows reports by Gaza-based doctors of inexplicably serious injuries. The doctors reported an exceptionally large number of wounded who lost legs, of completely burned bodies and injuries unaccompanied by metal shrapnel. Some of the doctors also claimed that they removed particles from wounds that could not be seen in an x-ray machine.
The Italian investigative team raised the possibility that the IDF is making use of a weapon similar in character to DIME - Dense Inert Metal Explosive - developed for the U.S. military. According to the official website of a U.S. air force laboratory, it is a "focused lethality" weapon, which aims to accurately destroy the target while causing minimum damage to the surrounding.
The report says that the weapon is not banned by international law, especially since it has not been officially tested.
It is believed that the weapon is highly carcinogenic and harmful to the environment.

"causing especially serious physical injuries, such as amputated limbs and severe burns"
what is a palestinian terrorist? yes! I win!
Why bother with this crap, just turn these monkeys into gut milkshakes.
On the contrary: They make nice Koi ponds after the rains come.
Interesting, but I wonder if this isn't just an example of Italian media picking up on those BS "Jewish Death Ray" stories coming out of Gaza and the West Bank.
Sure...and it won't be long before the DUmmies pick up on it and somehow link it to Karl Rove. I haven't checked lately because I have a bit of a life, but I am sure they're putting the final touches on the conspiracy that Karl Rove made a deal with NK to test their imaginary nuke in October...Bush's October Surprise and all.
Are they seeing more wounded, or people who would have died who are now wounded do this weapon that apparently has a small radius.
"It is believed that the weapon is highly carcinogenic and harmful to the environment."
AHA! The REAL problem!
I know now. Bush caused it. (LOL) this entire thing is hogwash, garbage, bullsh&t. Another media effort to make news and cause anger when there is no news.
Not the dreaded "Jewish" death-ray from the Zionist mother ship.
karl rove is flying that ship!!!!!
when it is a slow news day...and are not bashing Bush ...they bash Israel.....
How much you want to bet that this weapon is just something that will prematurely detonate bombs, thus causing "burns, losing limbs", etc?
Arabs? Moslems? Build armies of christian black Africans and tell them the land it theirs provided no one is alive to contest. Should be over in a month.
It contributes to global warming too! /s
And it ain't to healthy for the target either...
What we need is a bomb that is bio-degradable, mood enhancing and faith promoting.
Yeah yeah. Like a Jew would give a dime to anyone. /sarcasm
I suspect this is another "Jewish secret weapon to kill innocent Palestinian children on the way to school" event to give the media something to do. We'll have UN tribunals to study whether to ban the "Jewish baby killer" weapon
