Al Mayadeen’s sources revealed on Sunday that the Israeli Occupation Forces had been deploying poison gas prior to their incursions into the Gaza Strip.

The source explained that the IOF had attempted to penetrate the Gaza Strip four hours after deploying the toxic gas, noting that this strategy was “used in the main areas of operation, specifically in Beit Lahia and Beit Hanoun [Gaza].”

This comes after Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in Gaza reported that an Israeli infantry unit fell into an ambush set up by the Resistance in Soufa.

Our correspondent confirmed that “the Israeli infantry unit withdrew from Sofa after intense clashes with the Resistance that lasted for 3 hours.”

Furthermore, the IOF’s spokesperson announced that an Israeli officer was seriously injured as a result of the detonation of an explosive device and that another soldier was injured during confrontations in the northern Gaza Strip.

The Israeli land invasion waged against Gaza along three axes was driven back by the Resistance, which confirmed that the occupation’s soldiers suffered casualties in the process.

The Resistance said that the enemy fell into “ambushes prepared by the Palestinian Resistance” and also noted that it expected the occupation to “attempt to invade Gaza again.”

    Army commanders generally maintained an attitude of secrecy regarding the employment of chemical weapons, something that the [Fascist] government officially denied throughout the [re]invasion and subsequent occupation of Ethiopia.64 Nonetheless, army war diaries reveal that commanders deployed mustard gas during 1936–1938 to trap insurgents by preventing them from escaping through the affected areas.

    This did not always succeed, and combing operations sometimes were delayed while [Fascist] ground forces waited for the ‘toxic effects’ of the ‘bombardment’ to dissipate.65 Because chemical weapons were difficult to control and best used at a distance, collateral damage against non‐combatants was inevitable.

    In some cases, civilians were included as legitimate targets. In his operations against Wondosson Kassa in 1936, Pirzio Biroli employed ‘asphyxiating gas of all types in areas where it is presumed that Wondosson has recruited men, without distinction between subjects and non‐subjects’.66
