GAZA 28/01/2009-- Dr. Essam Hijjawi, a board member in the health committees in the West Bank, revealed Wednesday that Israel used white phosphorus consolidated with Tungsten, a chemical element that has atomic number 74, against the civilians in the Gaza Strip.
Dr. Hijjawi added that this type of chemical weapon is more hazardous than the one used by the US military in Iraq, because Israel improved it by adding Tungsten, which if inhaled dissolves in the blood and damages the arteries in the body.
Regarding the health situation in Gaza, he noted that the technical potentials in the Gaza hospitals are limited and need serious support.
In a new development, Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, stated in a communiqué received by the PIC that its fighters fired three mortar shells on a special Israeli force that tried to infiltrate into the east of Al-Maghazi area, in central Gaza Strip.
The infiltrating troops withdrew from the area after they advanced into it for a distance of 500 meters and bulldozed vast areas of agricultural lands.
