You know when you've been hit with a chemical weapon because people are dying with no visible wounds.

It didn't happen. We would have heard by now.

Perhaps the terrorists actually made an attempt. Perhaps they are lying.

But we know there was no successful chemical attack.

You'd think after an hour or so there would be some kind of confirmation if this claim had any merit.

if it was mustard gas, it can take up to 12 hours for symptoms to appear.

luckily, it's not usually fatal.

Perhaps it's propaghanda to "keep hope alive" amongst the Muzzie masses - those secret weapons are on their way to turn the tide. Fight on all you 14 year old martyrs. We'll stay hide at the mosque and work on the secret weapons.

Saber rattling, I'll bet. Hamas knows it's in deep doo-doo.

That depends on where it landed. Could have been a dud, could have landed in a spot where the wind carried it away from the population and/or dispersed it to the point that it was relatively harmless before it blew into a populated area.

Plus if people were injured in this way, they wouldn't necessarily know it was the result of a rocket attack. Medical people on the scene/at ER/in lab would have to analyze first to be able to say with any certainty what it was, and that might take a while. Plus Israel's gov't wouldn't want to throw the population into a panic.
