"Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor disclosed on Tuesday that it had received testimonies indicating that bodies of Palestinians killed by the Israeli occupation in Gaza seemed to have 'evaporated or melted,' suggesting the use of prohibited thermal weapons in residential areas.

The Geneva-based rights group called for an international investigation into the matter, urging that an 'international committee of experts must be established to look into the weapons Israel has been using as part of its genocide in the Gaza Strip ... including the potential use of bombs that produce such high heat that victims’ bodies evaporate.'

According to the report, the genocidal war on Gaza, which has resulted in the martyrdom of over 34,000 Palestinians at the least, raises concerns about the potential use of 'thermal weapons', or what are known as 'vacuum bombs' - well-known in military circles for their efficacy in demolishing caves and underground tunnel complexes.

'A number of the victims killed in these horrifying Israeli raids on residential buildings have vanished and may have turned to ashes, raising questions about the type of bombs used in the attacks,' Euro-Med said, also adding that thousands of martyrs 'remain missing, either because it was impossible to recover them from under the debris in light of insufficient equipment and technical know-how, or because their bodies were either hidden by the Israeli army or no longer exist.'"

The Geneva-based Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor (Euro-Med) released a report on 30 April urging an investigation into Israel’s potential use of illegal thermal weapons. “An international committee of experts must be established to look into the weapons Israel has been using as part of its genocide in the Gaza Strip … including the potential use of bombs that produce such high heat that victims’ bodies evaporate,” the Euro-Med report said. The rights group cites testimonies received from Gaza which revealed a “horrific new level of killing in the Strip.” The bodies of Palestinian victims appear to have been vaporized by the weapons Israel used against residential buildings. “Thousands of victims remain missing, either because it was impossible to recover them from under the debris in light of insufficient equipment and technical know-how, or because their bodies were either hidden by the Israeli army or no longer exist,” the Euro-Med report reads. The report continues to say, “A number of the victims killed in these horrifying Israeli raids on residential buildings have vanished and may have turned to ashes, raising questions about the type of bombs used in the attacks.” Thermobaric weapons, also referred to as vacuum bombs, are two-stage munitions. The first charge disperses a fine aerosol cloud of materials ranging from carbon-based fuel to metal particles. The second charge ignites the materials used, creating a fireball, shock wave, and vacuum as it sucks up the surrounding oxygen. The blast from these weapons can last significantly longer than conventional explosives, enabling it to vaporize human bodies. Mass graves in Gaza hospitals previously raided by Israel show that civil defense staff found “bodies without skin,” according to Gaza’s Government Media Office. According to the Euro-Med report, “The Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907, the Geneva Conventions of 1949, and international humanitarian law all forbid the use of thermal bombs against civilians in populated civilian areas. The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court also classifies the use of thermal bombs as a war crime.” Israel has also illegally deployed white phosphorus weapons on civilians and civilian infrastructure in Gaza and Lebanon. According to a Washington Post analysis, the white phosphorus munitions used in Lebanon’s south were supplied to Israel by the US. Palestine’s Agricultural Work Committees Union said that Israel intentionally uses chemical weapons on farmlands in the Gaza Strip to contaminate its soil, posing an increased cancer risk to farmers.

Hermit Craft Rising AU: HC OCTAGON

A gigantic, octopodal octagon-shaped weapons platform developed by Architech Worldwide that far outscales any other Hermit Craft. Equipped with a lightning-storm generator, feet with gigantic retractable blades, and railgun cannons, among other less noteworthy but just as deadly armaments. Designed to completely bulldoze and level densely packed buildings (such as industrial complexes or urban zones,) OCTAGON was created by Architech Worldwide (based on plans stolen from Dr. Manfred) with the express purpose of countering other Hermit Craft in combat by any means necessary short of a thermobaric nuclear bomb. Initially designed as an unmanned HC, the final iteration required a pilot. Capable of tunneling but rather slow at doing so.

The counterpart to MG EXCELSUS, this was inspired by not only the Season 8 Octagon build by Ren and Doc, but also LaxyDaxy's reimagining of it (albeit rotated by 22.5 degrees!)

The house occupied by the Russians before and after the arrival of the "Fat Drone": The Ukrainian invented and manufactured "Fat Drone" is an amazingly powerful, accurate and effective weapon with an explosion almost equivalent to the GBU-39 aviation bomb. It is very compact, light and extremely efficient thermobaric weapon...but its main advantage is that it is made in Ukraine...

The baffling assertion I keep seeing from angry election-scolds is that Trump is now going to LEVEL Gaza, as if the Biden administration … hasn't already been doing that for over a year?

The recent Watson Institute report on U.S. military funding to Israel during the current genocide includes this partial list compiled from publicly available sources:

Note the red-circled reference to Mk84 bombs? A Mk84 is an American general purpose bomb with a nominal weight of 2,000 lb (907 kg). About half that is a steel case, the rest is high explosive: 945 lb (428.7 kg) of H6 or Tritonal. This is what one looks like:

Christopher Chant's World Encyclopædia of Modern Air Weapons (Patrick L. Stephens, 1988) describes the effects of this weapon like this:

General-purpose bombs are designed mainly for a combination of blast and fragmentation, and are thus based on a comparatively thick-walled casing with a substantial explosive filling to ensure penetration and considerable upheaval: typically a 2,000-lb (907-kg) general-purpose bomb can form a crater 50 ft (15.24 m) in diameter and 36 ft (10.97 m) in depth by blasting out some 8,500 cu ft (240.7 m³) of earth. Depending on drop height the bomb can alternatively penetrate 15 in (380 mm) of metal or 11 ft (3.35 m) of concrete, and disperse shrapnel to a lethal radius of 400 yards (366 m). [emphasis added]

Those photos you've seen of Gaza showing gigantic holes in the ground in the middle of refugee camps? Each of those was probably caused by a single one of these weapons, and the U.S. has provides Israel with at least 14,100 of them, along with various other weapons, some significantly more awful. (Don't look up "thermobaric munition" unless you want to lose your lunch.)

Biden and Harris might occasionally make concerned-face expressions, but they have been enthusiastically engaged (with the eager support of Congress), to the tune of more than $20 billion USD, in leveling Gaza.

The plant handles ethylene oxide.

The fire started in an area of the plant that handles ethylene oxide

Ethylene oxide is a primary component of thermobaric munitions, which includes the AGM-114 Hellfire missile, the BLU-118/B thermobaric bomb, the XM1060 40mm thermobaric grenade, and the SMAW-NE antitank missile.

As unpleasant as it may be to contemplate the possibility, the USA is now almost certainly finding itself on the business end of the special operations spear that it has so heavily utilized around the world for the last 40 years.

While one assumes the Russians are the most likely culprits, the Chinese have been preparing for direct conflict with the US military for more than 20 years and it is certainly in their interest to ensure that US munitions supplies remain scarce.

I swear to god if this works I'm going to personally travel to every autodesk office in the world and blow them up with thermobaric bombs

[absfawn]

Hi hun! Js letting you know that this is actually not how thermobaric bombs work. Nor does the explosion look like that. What actually happens with a thermobaric bomb is that it releases flammable aerosol of liquid gas or powder into the air and then ignites it. It’s actually right in the name! Thermobaric=fuel-air. So a person being hit by that will look burnt to a crisp and not asleep. Also Israel only has 1 thermobaric system and it’s a de-mining tool and it’s installed in armored vehicles and actually has not been used in Gaza ever! Just a little fyi :) Other than that carry on!

Thank you for letting me know, baby <3

(the purpose of the bayonett)

what is the purpose of the bayonett?

You pretend that they don’t know,

while it sits meaningfully in the corner, leaning on the wall.

Don’t you know that if you keep these weapons,

you will in time be forced to justify them?

Come up with some reason why you’re keeping,

why you’re spending all the money on these,

and not, who knows what. Bike Lanes. Student Loans. Healthcare.

Anything that is kept will in time seek to justify itself.

Drumming up fear – the atom bomb sits at the negotiationg table.

don’t you think,

that if you keep on hoarding all these weapons,

in time there will come a day where they may be used?

si vis pacem,

parabellum straight to the head and shoot

all the ones lined up.

And no, they will not learn from it,

it will not be some last time or mean anything in particular,

not the blood you bleed,

and not the blood you shed.

Poison rain sulphur phosphorus burn,

scorching holes in the flesh to the bone,

swiss cheese of moonscape relief,

buildings blending and melting and twisting until you can’t discern up our down,

flesh coating the walls.

Folding into -

swiftly to hell in a handbasket.

Thermobaric poor man’s nuke,

fallout acid rain in long-poisoned bays.

Maimed lived with no hope that yet screech to live.

What is the purpose of the bayonett?

It is the purpose that it’s always been.

What is the purpose of the bayonett?

The purpose of the bayonett is to

KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL

With a thermobaric warheads ! ! I can hear the gasping already ! ! Bunkers and protective systems are useless because the tiny multiple aerosol bombs destroy the oxygen in the surrounding air and you suffocate from lack of oxygen ! !

P.S. A flamethrower drone, that's an interesting innovation!? Would it be good to try dropping napalm or thermobaric bombs on Russian war criminals?
