Local Editor, 5-1-2010

"Israel" is facing harsh criticism for its vicious conduct in its aggression on the Gaza strip as the silence is replaced by truth .The Italian New Weapons Committee charges "Israel" of contaminating Gaza land through bombing.

The Italy-based group of researchers investigated "Israel's" use of toxic ammunition and said the inhabitants of the Gaza Strip are "in danger."

It based the accusations on soil analysis of four bomb craters. "It is essential to interfere at once to limit the consequences of the contamination on people, animals and cultivation," the researchers reported.

The group's statement topped headlines in Italian, European and Middle Eastern newspapers.

Paola Manduca, the committee's spokesperson, said that the study indicates an anomalous presence of toxic elements in the soil. This included metals that "can cause tumors and problems with fertility, and they can have serious effects on newborns, like deformities and genetic pathologies."

The researchers listed the dangerous metals: tungsten, mercury, molybdenum, cadmium and cobalt.
