No, I've not heard much of this at all, thanks for posting about it. On a similar note I did read about Israel's secret support for importing illicit drugs into Gaza, creating an addiction problem with the obvious intent of destroying the social fabric there, this was before Oct 7th of course.
In addition to illegal use of phosphorous, Bio / Chem, D.U. (Depleted Uranium), I.D.U. and genotoxic weaponry that Israel is developing in ways to exterminate future generations of Palestinians, Zionist land thieves (aka "Settlers") have even weaponized their raw sewage to poison wells, kill crops, sicken livestock. (1), (2)
I fully realize that there are very many rational, compassionate, bright and ethical Israelis that already oppose Israel's genocidal, right wing expansionists.
Regrettably, the Netanyahu government abhors even the thought of a just and durable peace which would prohibit further land theft, gratuitous murder and destruction of even West Bank Palestinians with IDF's complicity.(3), (4)
By now there is no question that Israel's right wing is committing genocide.
Not only is Israel's right wing attempting to destroy any evidence of the previous existence of Palestine's native residents, its genocidal intent is further demonstrated by its destruction of human graves in old Palestinian cemeteries. (5)
Thanks,

http://www.arij.org/latest-news/479-...ral-lands.html
EXCERPT ā(*)Israeli settlements are illegally dumping wastewater onto Palestinian villages, farmlands and agricultural lands. This practice has devastating effects on the Palestinian lands, both reducing and preventing any agricultural production, livestock farming and infecting previously safe drinking water. The accumulative effect of these issues has resulted in an economic downturn, increases in disease and health problems, an increase in poverty and often the slow migration of Palestinians to other areas where they have more potential for earning and farming which only further compounds the issue of internal displacement.āCONTINUED

EXCERPT "The violence itself is not new, but two things are worth watching. As the attacks spread, thereās growing evidence that soldiers and settlers are working hand in hand.

EXCERPT āNearly half the burial sites in the Palestinian enclave have suffered damage by armored vehicles, air strikes and artillery fire from the Israeli army.
The situation at the Jabaliya cemetery was not isolated. Scores of videos and photos, shot and taken by Gazan residents and journalists, have documented the destruction of at least eight major cemeteries in the Palestinian territory since the start of the Israeli army's ground operations. They show destroyed tombstones and human remains dispersed from their graves and scattered over the upturned earth.ā CONTINUED
