The chemical is designed to ignite a fire around the impact zone and is banned by international law for use near civilians.

Two mortar shells fired from the Gaza Strip into the rural Eshkol Regional Council on Sunday morning contained phosphorous, security forces confirmed. The shells landed in open fields, causing no injuries or damage.

Mortars containing phosphorous fired from Gaza have landed in Israeli territory in the past. Phosphorous is designed to ignite a fire around the impact zone. The chemical is banned by international law for use near civilians.

The mortar attack follows an Israeli air strike on Palestinian terrorists attempting to fire rockets into Israel on Friday. The IDF confirmed that the Israel Air Force killed one in the attack and and injured five. Palestinian sources identified the deceased as Muaman Abu Daf, commander of the al-Qaida-affiliated 'Army of Islam.'

Imagine if this came from Mexico into Texas (which probably isn’t very far off itself). Would anyone blame the U.S. for sending troops in to put an end to it, if Mexico was unable to do so? Why is only Israel prohibited from reacting to invasions and attacks as every other nation in the world is permitted to do with impunity?

The queeranus was written before Geneva.

They do not adhere to civilization's ways.

They should be removed from civilization.

I believe Texas NG would rise up and take care of business.

Yes.

We'd never hear the end of it from CNN, etc.

If they’re not bound by the rules of warfare, Israel shouldn’t be bound. It’s silly to tie our own hands when fighting these savages.

If a cartel fired one of thess into U.S. territory, first no msm source would carry the news, secondly Hitlery would send a strongly worded letter.

The Pali’s don’t need no stinking international law!

[freeangel]

I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that obama had sent it for just such a purpose. After all, no laws apply to him.

[jmacusa]

“Would anyone blame the U.S. for sending troops...’’ Hell’s Bell’s we’re blamed for just having an army.

[BooBoo1000]

Do you really think the Palestinian terrorists really give a damn about Geneva, or any other law????

[jmacusa]

You have to ask ME that? There is no such thing as a “Palestinian’’. They’re all worthless Saracens bastards as far as I’m concerned.

There are decades old fatwas establishing that all Jews are combatants. Especially the young women, who give forth more combatents. So it's OK to use phosphorous on the. It's OK to kill them any way, any time. We call it terrorism, but in the mideast version, as Jews are concerned, it has strong religious backing. The Peace Religion.

Why is only Israel prohibited from reacting to invasions and attacks as every other nation in the world is permitted to do with impunity?

Because they're Jews with guns.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Hey they probably got the mortar round from Happy Eric Holder’s House of Munitions.

What we need is a giant tennis racket to bounce these babies right back at them.

Since when do the Palis give a hoot about weapons prohibited by international law? If the Palis want to lob white phosphorous rounds into Israel, then reply with napalm and turn them into crispy critters.

Wait, I forgot — Israel has to play by rules the Palis ignore! Bravo Sierra. Fry the buggers or, better, drop the equivalent of a BLU-82B/C “Daisy Cutter” 15,000 pound bomb on them.
