The war crimes keep adding up and they still can't make any strategic gains against the resistance. The clock is ticking...

Strange smelling air is a red flag for Chem weapons

Optics wise it's also possibly the only war crime more obviously and blatantly evil than what they're already doing like bombing the hospital.

The goal, presumably, is to displace the units that cannot be displaced in other ways. What this indicates is that Hamas has established a position that Israel cannot penetrate so they are willing to commit war crimes. That's a pretty serious endorsement of the effectiveness of Hamas.

It's not stupid in the sense that if both sides have to displace in order to avoid the gas, presumably Hamas cannot regain their position in time for the subsequent Israeli assault and thus the position will fall.

It's stupid in that to solve a tactical problem it creates a strategic problem. The tactical problem is this particular position. The strategic problem is the world turning against Israel for using chemical warfare.

I honestly can’t think of much to say other than reremind people that Fascist Italy also deployed chemical weapons. Reading this story I almost instantly thought of the scene in The Lion of the Desert where Graziani’s forces expelled sulfur mustard into a Libyan valley to harm and terrorise the insurgents resisting Fascism. As somebody who studies the subject, the memory came naturally to me when I saw this.

I know that somebody (most likely a Zionist) could claim that I am simply appealing to guilt by association, but I am not saying that chemical weapons are wrong simply because Fascist Italy used them. Chemical weapons are wrong in their own right, which is why it is unsurprising that the Zionists are using them too.

Chemical weapons don't spread that far, the chances of Israelis bieng affected by this is minimal at best. Most chemicals weapons are heavier then air and like to stay in one spot, hence why they were so effective in countering trench warfare.

Only danger is if the wind changes direction, but still that doesn't pose much of a risk, and that can be prevented by having just a single competent meteorologist and chemical engineer on the dispersal team.

Not only are they not concerned, I would not be surprised if that was considered in their calculations. "We can kill hostages and then blame it on Hamas for the PR". Given their reluctance to accept freed hostage previously, that seems to be the case.

Have faith the resistance who has spent 17 years planning this tunnels studiously prepared for the possibility of nazis using gas.

It's inevitable at this point. Very soon they're going to use a chemical weapon and news of it will spread.

Al Mayadeen is resistance media, not cnn or phoney western left ngo trash. The second half has important value because even in spite of using chemical weapons these paper tigers cannot inflict strategic defeats against the Palestinian resistance. The Palestinians are not victims they are resisters each every one.

"Today all those who love the Palestinian Struggle realize that those who wish to diminish the magnitude of the achievements of the Al Aqsa Flood operation by talking exclusively about the massacres in Gaza are defeatists and worse than irrelevant." https://www.almayadeen.net/articles/لا-وقت-للبكاء--المقاومة-تنحر-نتنياهو-على-عتبة-الكنيست
