IDF Deploys Iron Dome Near Eilat


Israeli army used flechettes against Gaza civilians

Flechettes are 4cm long metal darts that are sharply pointed at the front, with four fins at the rear. Between 5,000 and 8,000 are packed into 120mm shells which are generally fired from tanks. The shells explode in the air and scatter the flechettes in a conical pattern over an area about 300m wide and 100m long.

An anti-personnel weapon designed to penetrate dense vegetation, flechettes should never be used in built-up civilian areas. The Israeli army has used them in Gaza periodically for several years. In most cases their use has resulted in civilians being killed or injured.

Reminds me of what Palestinians used with their suicide bombs. They packed them with as many nails and bolts as well as rat poison to cause as much death as possible

This savagery is what Israel has to constantly live with. The same kind of Arab savagery that kills 5,000 ppl a month in Syria, as well as producing 5 million refugees.
