[Latest PA Propaganda]New Israeli "Chemical Bullets" Kill a Citizen in Qalqilya

[Latest PA Propaganda]New Israeli "Chemical Bullets" Kill a Citizen in
Qalqilya

Exclusive - The International Press Center (IPC) [Official PA website]

Medical sources in the city of Qalqilya revealed to IPC correspondent that
the Israeli occupying forces (IOF) have began using a new chemical weapon
against the Palestinian people, and that the first victim of that weapon was
Mazen Yassin, 45, who was extra-judicially executed on Thursday morning.

The IOF has assassinated Yassin, who is the leader of the Ezzeddin Al Qassam
Brigades, the military wing of Hamas movement, in the Qalqilya province, by
shooting him and leaving him lying on the ground wounded for hours,
preventing ambulances or doctors from rescuing him.

After making sure he was killed, the occupying forces allowed Dr. Mohammed
Al Hashem, a doctor in the city's health department, to examine Yassin's
body.

Dr. Al Hashem spoke to IPC's afterwards, saying that Yassin was shot with a
bullet polluted with an unknown chemical material, which eases the peeling
of skin and hair from the victim's body to the extent that touching the skin
leads to peeling it immediately, along with traces of an unknown white
material around the lips.

Eyewitnesses were shocked of the scene of the body, especially from the
white material that spread around Yassin's lips.

Dr. Al Hashem said that the Israeli soldiers kidnapped Yassin's body after
killing him and took him behind the "Green Line" then returned him back to
the Red Cross seven hours afterwards.

Al Hashem asserted that Yassin was shot once with a bullet that penetrated
the left side of the pelvis, pointing out that his wounds were not lethal.
He also noted that whenever he touched the body of the victim, skin and hair
would easily peel off the touched area, which clearly indicated the presence
of a foreign chemical substance in his body.

"I have worked on killed bodies since 1987, and I've never seen such a case.
He (Yassin) might have been shot with a bullet holding some sort of a
chemical material that slowly spread through his body to kill him," Dr. Al
Hashem said.

He added that he asked permission from the victim's family to do an autopsy
on Yassin's body, but they refused in respect of their son's soul, before
handing them the body for burial.

This was not the first time IOF used unknown chemical material to oppress or
deter the Palestinian people. In the beginning of the Al Aqsa Intifada,
Israeli soldiers fired tear gas canisters at Palestinian protestors, mixed
with a nerve agent, leading to severe muscle spasms and seizure-like
symptoms in all those who inhaled the gas.
