Franc-Parler publie un article de Granma International sur l'utilisation de phosphore blanc par les forces d'occupation sionistes dans le bombardement du Liban. L'utilisation d'armes chimiques par l'armeé israélienne démontrent toute la perfidie des sionistes et de l'État d'Israël, éritable colonie militaire de l'impérialisme américain au Moyen-Orient.

Baalbek, Lebanon (August 27) — At least three corpses with clear signs of having been attacked with white phosphorus, a chemical weapon banned for use against human beings, were taken to a hospital in the Lebanese city of Baalbek during the war, according to medical sources.

The EFE agency reports that Hussein Mahmoud el Chel, chief of Emergencies in the Dar el Amal Hospital, confirmed that the state of those corpses – with no external wounds, totally contracted and with a greenish-black skin – displayed all the characteristics of an attack with this type of substance. Dr. Mahmoud explained that the victims transferred to the hospital came from the town of Brital, like Baalbek, situated in the eastern Beka Valley.

Lebanese experts took various samples from the corpses to Beirut, from where they have been forwarded to a chemical weapons research laboratory in Paris to be analyzed, Mahmoud noted.

Border Blockade

Israel has decided to maintain for now its naval and air blockade of the Lebanese borders, affirmed Defense Minister Amir Peretz during a session of the Council of Ministers.

Peretz added that the Israeli forces will remain in the border area of southern Lebanon until the arrival of the Lebanese National Army and the UN Blue Helmets. (ANSA)
