The Jenin Hospital director, Mohammed Abu Ghali, said the bullets retrieved from Hook's abdomen were so-called "dum-dum" bullets, which explode on impact, and which Palestinians say Israeli soldiers use. The army has denied using such ammunition.

Lt. Col. Olivier Rafowicz, an army spokesman, said Abu Ghali was unreliable and the Palestinians should check their own ammunition.

Wait till Palie's get the guy who sold them the ammunition and swore it was genuine IDF ordnance.

The Israelis are using M16's/M4 Carbines and Galils. Both use standard Nato 5.22mm rounds. To my knowledge, there are no exploding rounds of this scall size.
The Palestinains have AKMs/AK-47s wich have a 7.65mm round. There are explosing versions of this round.
