Al Mayadeen’s sources revealed on Sunday that the Israeli Occupation Forces had been deploying poison gas prior to their incursions into the Gaza Strip.
The source explained that the IOF had attempted to penetrate the Gaza Strip four hours after deploying the toxic gas, noting that this strategy was “used in the main areas of operation, specifically in Beit Lahia and Beit Hanoun [Gaza].”
This comes after Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in Gaza reported that an Israeli infantry unit fell into an ambush set up by the Resistance in Soufa.
Our correspondent confirmed that “the Israeli infantry unit withdrew from Sofa after intense clashes with the Resistance that lasted for 3 hours.”
Furthermore, the IOF’s spokesperson announced that an Israeli officer was seriously injured as a result of the detonation of an explosive device and that another soldier was injured during confrontations in the northern Gaza Strip.
The Israeli land invasion waged against Gaza along three axes was driven back by the Resistance, which confirmed that the occupation’s soldiers suffered casualties in the process.
The Resistance said that the enemy fell into “ambushes prepared by the Palestinian Resistance” and also noted that it expected the occupation to “attempt to invade Gaza again.”
I honestly can’t think of much to say other than reremind people that Fascist Italy also deployed chemical weapons. Reading this story I almost instantly thought of the scene in The Lion of the Desert where Graziani’s forces expelled sulfur mustard into a Libyan valley to harm and terrorise the insurgents resisting Fascism. As somebody who studies the subject, the memory came naturally to me when I saw this.
I know that somebody (most likely a Zionist) could claim that I am simply appealing to guilt by association, but I am not saying that chemical weapons are wrong simply because Fascist Italy used them. Chemical weapons are wrong in their own right, which is why it is unsurprising that the Zionists are using them too.
