Disinformation :: IDF Using Phosphorus Shells To Train, Against International Law


'The Israel Defense Forces has been using phosphorus shells in training exercises, a practice forbidden in inhabited areas under international law.
'Several weeks ago, four Bedouin goatherders were badly hurt by the detonation of an unexploded phosphorus shell they found near their home in the South Hebron Hills.
'The blast occurred on August 17 in an area where Bedouin families have been living in caves, in an IDF fire zone. Civilians who had been evicted from the area were permitted to return following an interim order from the High Court of Justice, but the IDF never cleared the unexploded ordinance.' (Haaretz article).
