The white phosphor gas was used by israeli undeniabley in Gaza - presstv

The white phosphor gas was used by israeli undeniabley in Gaza . A Palestinian infant exposed to deadly phosphorous gases in Gaza has died, becoming the youngest casualty of Israel's illegal weapon.

Six-month-old Nancy Sa'di Wakid was declared dead, after inhaling the fumes of burning white phosphorous, Palestinian medical sources at Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City reported.
The baby died of serious complications in her lungs, medics at the hospital announced.
As well as having toxic effects, white phosphorus, used to create smoke screens during battle, releases a thick, billowing smoke.
The Geneva Treaty of 1980 stipulates that white phosphorus should not be used as a weapon of war in civilian areas.
The infant is the youngest casualty of the controversial weapon during Israel's 23 day war on one of the most densely populated areas of the world. The onslaught has so far killed more than 1330 Palestinians, one-third of them children.
Israel's use of the controversial weapon on the civilian population of Gaza first came to light when doctor Mads Gilbert from Al Shifa Hospital reported strange burns on the casualties in an exclusive interview with Press TV.
The Israeli military initially denied using white phosphorus munitions.
"The IDF [Israeli Defense Forces] acts only in accordance with what is permitted by international law and does not use white phosphorus," IDF Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi told Israel's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee in response to a query.
In the face of mounting evidence, Israel finally admitted the weapon was deployed in its offensive code named "Operation Cast Lead."
Yes, phosphorus was used but not in any illegal manner, said Yigal Palmor, Israeli foreign ministry spokesman, as quoted by Times Online website.
The death of the infant comes as international calls to investigate Tel Aviv's alleged war crimes in the Palestinian strip, have caused Israel's Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to promise military personnel state protection from foreign prosecution.
Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Malki, however, said that Olmert's promise "does not mean there is immunity against legal actions."
"More of such efforts will be seen also in the near future," he told a news conference.
