I wonder how many unexploded bomblets are scattered in the rubble of Gaza city now dta dti

I wonder how many unexploded bomblets are scattered in the rubble of Gaza city now There haven't been any reports of cluster bomb use so probably none. The Israelis don't need them anyway. Why pepper an urban area with bomblets when you can destroy the whole block with a blockbuster?

https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/al-qassam-destroy-three-israeli-tanks-in-gaza-confrontationsquote:Al-Qassam Brigades posted an image of the Al-Yasin 105 anti-armor charge on their Telegram channel, showing a burning Israeli tank in front of it, with the Quranic verse, "We softened the iron for him," in reference to the remarkable results achieved by these locally manufactured shells and the significant damage they inflict on Israeli tanks on the battlefield. "We softened the iron for him" is a play on words from Saba verse 10; in which Allah made iron pliable for David to make armor. So they've resoftened Israel's armor as a favor. Gripweed posted:what the heck why is Fizzy on the shoot on sight list? Can't stop looking at D&D. mags posted:yr probably right but I also wouldn’t put it past any of these monsters since they are already using white phosphorus and openly discussing chemical weapons use If the situation called for it they absolutely would be using cluster bombs, but this is a situation where that's actually useless, even for killing a bunch of people. Gazans still have bomb shelters to hide in, cluster bombs would be useless. The other problem is that because cluster bomblets have such a high dud rate, you're basically giving free high explosives to Hamas.

Or well, it would be if seeing the Venezuelan private press openly supporting a coup against Chavez didn't already do that for me 20 years ago.

jerkposting (I guess), but I was surprised to see our usually pretty conservative Jamaican national paper (the Observer) calling for recalling our UN ambassador because he abstained from the ceasefire vote instead of voting with it. Also saw people back home marching for Palestine  if I had to guess why it would be not just human dignity and morality, but the fact that people here have had experiences with Israeli tourism
