‘Israel used depleted uranium shells in air strike’ – Syrian source

truther May 6, 2013 10

Israel used “a new type of weapon”, a senior official at the Syrian military facility that came under attack from the Israeli Air Force told RT.

“When the explosion happened it felt like an earthquake,” said the source, who was present near the attack site on the outskirts of Damascus on Sunday morning.

‘Israel used depleted uranium shells in air strike’ – Syrian source

“Then a giant golden mushroom of fire appeared. This tells us that Israel used depleted uranium shells.”

Depleted uranium is a by-product of the uranium enrichment process that creates nuclear weapons, and was first used by the US in the Gulf conflict of 1991. Unlike the radioactive materials used in nuclear weapons, depleted uranium is not valued for its explosiveness, but for its toughness – it is 2.5 times as dense as steel – which allows it to penetrate heavy protection.

Countries using depleted uranium weapons insist that the material is toxic, but not dangerously radioactive, as long as it remains outside the body.

The source also claims the attack – if it managed to hit the objects it targeted – served more of a political than a military purpose.

“Several civilian factories and buildings were destroyed. The target was just an ordinary weapons warehouse. The bombing is an ultimatum to us – it had no strategic motivation.”

Western intelligence sources told the media that the strikes targeted transfers of weapons from the Lebanese Hezbollah movement, which is sympathetic to the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad.

The official who spoke to RT denies this.

“There was no valuable equipment at the site. It was all removed after a previous attack on the facility. The military losses from this are negligible.”

    @ BitterClinger, The fertilizer plant in the U.S. that exploded, and the bombing Israel did in Syria with the depleted Uranium are connected . .The U.S and Israel want Syria to disappear off the face of the planet, the Zionist want Syria, after reading a article like this it confirms my suspicions regarding Israels true motives for wanting Al Assad out of the way for good .

        Do not expect the Zionist owned federal government to do anything other than pour gasoline on the fire. We are not invited to the party.

            Leo, I have no doubt. anything less would be unacceptable. When Iraq invaded Iran, the media never mentioned it, however when Iran retaliated the media told everybody that Iran attacked. It was not presented in any way as a retaliation. Expect the same from Israel.

            The “innocent chosen people” cannot commit any wrong because “god” says so.
            It does not matter what real Americans say or believe or promote. The government will not listen to nor follow the wishes of the people.
            What they will do is attack whomever the elite tells them to and it is not the military’s fault soldiers do what they are ordered to. Bitching gets them thrown in the brig and refusing can get them killed for treason even when it is not really treason but refusal to follow illegal orders..

        Israel is digging their own grave .

        It definitely looks that way. Just when did “preemptive strikes” become “not a declaration of war”?
        Sad thing is the common folk of Israel have nothing to do with it. And their elite will not suffer in any way from retaliation.
