Israel used internationally banned bombs in Lebanon

TEHRAN, Oct. 06 (MNA) –The Syndicate of Chemists in Lebanon (SCL) warned Sunday that Israeli regime used internationally banned bombs containing depleted uranium in Lebanon.

In a statement, the SCL condemned “the barbaric aggression against civilians in Lebanon and the massacres being committed against the Lebanese people.”

According to Anadolu Agency, the syndicate said the warning aims “to raise awareness about the effects of inhaling the dust from Israeli bombings in several Lebanese areas.”

“The extent of destruction and the penetration of buildings and ground by dozens of meters is evidence of the use of bombs containing depleted uranium, which has tremendous penetrating power."

It emphasized that "the use of such types of internationally banned weapons, especially in densely populated Beirut, leads to massive destruction, and their dust causes many diseases, especially when inhaled."

The syndicate called on the international community to stop the Israeli attacks on Lebanon and halt the use of internationally banned bombs.

It also urged the Lebanese state to file a lawsuit with the UN Security Council against “the violations taking place on Lebanese soil and the attempted mass killings of innocent civilians.”

At least 2,036 people have since been killed, over 9,500 injured, and 1.2 million others displaced as a result of the Israeli regime's war, according to Lebanese authorities.

The international community has warned that Israeli attacks in Lebanon could escalate the Gaza conflict into a wider regional war.
