The Ministry of Health in Gaza has sounded an urgent warning over the types of weapons reportedly being tested by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in the region, particularly in northern Gaza.
Dr. Munir Al-Bursh, the Director General of Gaza’s Health Ministry, has expressed grave concerns to Al Jazeera, detailing the horrifying effects of the bombs being dropped on the Strip. He claims that the weapons used by the IDF have terrifying and unrecognizable qualities, adding to the growing humanitarian crisis in the area.
In an exclusive interview, Dr. Al-Bursh explained that the bombs being deployed by Israeli forces produce “terrifying sounds” and have an overwhelming destructive capacity. He emphasized that when people are within 200 to 300 meters of these bombs, they are completely vaporized. This stark description paints a picture of the extreme power of the bombs, which are allegedly being dropped on residential areas, causing widespread devastation.
“These bombs are not just killing; they are vaporizing entire families,” Dr. Al-Bursh stated. “When these weapons are used on residential buildings, they reduce them to small fragments and rubble. Entire blocks are wiped out, and we only find out about these massacres one or two days later. By then, it is too late for any rescue efforts.”
The Health Ministry has raised alarm that these bombings, especially in Northern Gaza, are not immediately reported or discovered, making it difficult for rescue teams to reach the victims in time. According to Dr. Al-Bursh, the destruction caused by these bombs often goes unnoticed until the dust settles, further complicating the relief efforts.
Dr. Al-Bursh is now calling for an international investigation into the use of these alleged weapons. He demanded that an independent body look into the situation in Gaza, stating that Israel is testing weapons that the people of Gaza “do not recognize” and that their use is causing irreparable harm to civilians. He is urging the international community to take action and uncover the full extent of what Israel is conducting in the Strip.
“Israel is testing weapons on us that we do not recognize. These bombs are unlike anything we have ever seen,” Dr. Al-Bursh said. “We need an international investigation committee to uncover what Israel is doing to us.”
