From 2006: #BunkerBuster bombs containing #DepletedUranium warheads used by #Israel against #civilian targets in #Lebanon

"The delivery of at least 100 GBU 28 bunker busters bombs containing depleted #uranium warheads by the #UnitedStates to Israel for use against targets in Lebanon will result in additional #radioactive and chemical #toxic contamination with consequent adverse health and #environmental effects throughout the #MiddleEast. #Israeli #TankGunners are also using depleted uranium tank rounds as photographs verify.
"Today, U.S., British, and now Israeli military personnel are using illegal uranium munitions- America’s and #England’s own '#DirtyBombs' while U.S. Army, U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Department of Defense, and British Ministry of Defence officials deny that there are any adverse health and environmental effects as a consequence of the manufacture, testing, and/or use of uranium munitions to avoid liability for the willful and illegal dispersal of a radioactive toxic material – depleted uranium.
"The use of uranium weapons is absolutely unacceptable, and a crime against #humanity. Consequently the citizens of the world and all governments must force cessation of uranium weapons use. I must demand that Israel now provide medical care to all DU casualties in Lebanon and clean up all DU contamination.
"U.S. and British officials have arrogantly refused to comply with their own regulations, orders, and directives that require United States Department of Defense officials to provide prompt and effective medical care to “all” exposed individuals. Reference: Medical Management of Unusual Depleted Uranium Casualties, DOD, Pentagon, 10/14/93, Medical Management of Army personnel Exposed to Depleted Uranium (DU) Headquarters, U.S. Army Medical Command 29 April 2004, and section 2-5 of U.S. Army Regulation 700-48. Israeli officials must not do so now.
[...]
"The previous and current use of uranium weapons, the release of radioactive components in destroyed U.S. and foreign military equipment, and releases of industrial, medical, research facility radioactive materials have resulted in unacceptable exposures. Therefore, decontamination must be completed as required by U.S. Army Regulation 700-48 and should include releases of all radioactive materials resulting from military operations.
"The extent of adverse health and environmental effects of uranium weapons contamination is not limited to combat zones but includes facilities and sites where uranium weapons were manufactured or tested including #Vieques; #PuertoRico; #ColonieNewYork; #ConcordMA; #JeffersonProvingGrounds, #Indiana; and #SchofieldBarracks, #Hawaii. Therefore medical care must be provided by the United States Department of Defense officials to all individuals affected by the manufacturing, testing, and/or use of uranium munitions. Thorough environmental remediation also must be completed without further delay."
