Doctors across Lebanon, who’ve lived through years of civil war and Israeli occupation, are reporting an influx of unusual corpses, the likes of which they’ve never seen. Doctors say the corpses of victims from Israeli bombing raids are completely black with their skin and hair is intact. Bachir Cham, a Belgian-Lebanese doctor says, “If you burnt someone with petrol their hair would burn and their skin would burn down to the bone. The Israelis are 100 per cent using chemical weapons.” Dr. Cham has sent 24 samples to labs from the burnt corpses to find out what killed them.
Human Rights Watch, which has accused the Israeli army of using cluster bombs in populated areas of southern Lebanon, said it had not verified claims that Israel had used phosphorus. “We are investigating but we haven’t confirmed anything yet. We have seen phosphorus used before and we have seen it in the artillery stocks of the Israeli army in the north,” said Peter Bouckaert, emergencies director at Human Rights Watch. “Phosphorus shells do have a legitimate use in illuminating the battlefield at night. The offensive use of phosphorus would be a violation of international conventions.”

Raed Salman Zeinedine, director of Tyre Government Hospital, described another oddity associated with the burnt corpses. “The corpses of these victims are shrinking to half their normal size. You think it is the corpse of a child at first but it turns out to be a grown man,” Zeinedine said.

In a related story, amid eye witness accounts and mysterious burnt corpses in November, the Pentagon was forced to admit that they were secretly using white phosphorous in Fallujah, Iraq. Now similar accusations are surfacing from civilians and doctors that the US and Israel are using “directed energy or high-powered microwave” weapons in Iraq and Lebanon, respectively. As in Lebanon, the corpses of Iraqis killed by these weapons are also reported to shrink to around a meter, or around 3 and 1/3 foot. Neither Rumsfeld nor General Myers would confirm or deny their use when confronted. Around half a billion dollars is currently being spent by the Pentagon on directed-energy weapons. As the US supplies Israel with more advanced weaponry, it’s not too far-fetched to think Israel may be using this developmental technology on Lebanese civilians.

[…] While this may seem like a fair proposal to many Americans against the war in Iraq, it seems like a smoke and mirrors act to me. Any American up to date on news in the Middle East knows that microwave weapons have been in use by the US and Israeli military for quiet some time now. This statement from Secretary Wayne is being made so the military can pretend they’ve taken the proper precautions before the cat is out of the bag. What’s even more disturbing is that even with Pentagon trial tests and battlefield trials of microwave technology, the military insists on using it on the American public. […]

[…] In keeping with its ongoing War on Human Rights, Israel has been accused of testing a new weapon on Palestinians in recent months. This weapon seems to be quite different from other experimental devices Israel has used on civilian population in the past. The weapon bares resemblance to one tested by the US military called DIME (Dense Inert Metal Explosive). Haaretz, an Israeli newspaper, reported that the evidence is being investigating by the same team “that exposed the use by US forces in Iraq of phosphorous bombs, against Iraqi rebels in Falluja.” […]

Does anybody know who manufactures these satellite assisted microwave devices that Israel is using ! Or who to contact about their useage in restricted areas, where they should not have been used…………..

@jdiehl213
you bring up a very good question. the article doesnt say who is manufacturing these weapons now, only that they have been tested by the pentagon. if anyone learns anything further it’d be good information to post here. as far as contacting someone about their usage, i’d say your local representative (assuming your an american) is a good place to start. right now israel gets its weapons from america, and pays even less mind to international law than the US. voting for politicians who dont support israel is a good way to put some opposition up in our government. currently, it’s political suicide to even suggest we reduce support to israel or question how they use our money.

[…] The announcement that the Israel Defense Forces had used phosphorus bombs in the war in Lebanon was made by Minister Jacob Edery who said, “The IDF made use of phosphorous shells during the war against Hezbollah in attacks against military targets in open ground.” During the war, Lebanese civilians suffered and died from injuries characteristic of attacks with phosphorous. Dr. Hussein Hamud al-Shel, who works at Dar al-Amal hospital in Ba’albek, had said he received three corpses “entirely shriveled with black-green skin,” The use of white phosphorous against Lebanese civilians was further confirmed by Lebanon’s President, Emile Lahoud.
