"The first reports about Israel s new weapon came from Dr Joma Al-Saqqa, chief of the emergency unit at Gaza s largest hospital, Al-Shifa. Dr. Al-Saqqa said that Israel was using a new chemical weapon and its siege was a live exercise on a new ammunition that, so far, has resulted in killing 50 Palestinians and injuring 200. He observed that, despite the damage in internal soft tissue in the bodies of injured people, the fragments were not detected by X-ray. In other words, they had disappeared or dissolved inside the body. [13]
There were usually entry and exit wounds, Dr. Al-Saqqa reported. When the wounds were explored no foreign material was found. There was tissue death, the extent of which was difficult to determine. . . . A higher deep infection rate resulted with subsequent amputation. In spite of amputation there was a higher mortality. The effects of the weapon seemed radioactive. [14] [15]
According to Palestine News Network, Dr. Al-Saqqa confirmed that there were dozens of wounded legs and arms. Many of them had been burned from the inside, and distorted to the point that they cannot return to life again. [16]
When the shrapnel hit the body, it causes very strong burns that destroy the tissues around the bones . . . it burns and destroys internal organs, like the liver, kidneys, and the spleen and other organs and makes saving the wounded almost impossible. As a surgeon, I have seen thousands of wounds during the Intifada, but nothing was like this weapon. [17]"
