GAZA, July 10 (UPI) -- The Palestinian health ministry
accused Israel of using a new type of banned explosives
containing poisonous material.

A ministry report released Monday said testimonies from
surgeons in Palestinian hospitals indicated that "all 249
casualties inflicted by the Israeli war machine during the
operation on Gaza which started on June 27 resulted from
shrapnel of new and developed shells and explosives which
cause amputation of limbs and burning of all the injured
parts."
