May 24, 2004: Medical sources in the city of Qalqilya revealed to IPC correspondent that the Israeli occupying forces (IOF) have began using a new chemical weapon against the Palestinian people, and that the first victim of that weapon was Mazen Yassin, 45, who was extra-judicially executed on Thursday morning. The IOF has assassinated Yassin, who is the leader of the Ezzeddin Al Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas movement, in the Qalqilya province, by shooting him and leaving him lying on the ground wounded for hours, preventing ambulances or doctors from rescuing him. | Slowly leaking blood, wracked with pain, sounds good to me. |
After making sure he was killed, the occupying forces allowed Dr. Mohammed Al Hashem, a doctor in the city’s health department, to examine Yassin’s body. Dr. Al Hashem spoke to IPC’s afterwards, saying that Yassin was shot with a bullet polluted with an unknown chemical material, which eases the peeling of skin and hair from the victim’s body to the extent that touching the skin leads to peeling it immediately, along with traces of an unknown white material around the lips. Eyewitnesses were shocked of the scene of the body, especially from the white material that spread around Yassin’s lips. | Maybe he was eating a powdered doughnut before he got shot? |
Dr. Al Hashem said that the Israeli soldiers kidnapped Yassin’s body after killing him and took him behind the "Green Line" then returned him back to the Red Cross seven hours afterwards. Al Hashem asserted that Yassin was shot once with a bullet that penetrated the left side of the pelvis, pointing out that his wounds were not lethal. | Since he's dead, I'm thinking maybe the doc was wrong. |
He also noted that whenever he touched the body of the victim, skin and hair would easily peel off the touched area, which clearly indicated the presence of a foreign chemical substance in his body. "I have worked on killed bodies since 1987, and I’ve never seen such a case. He (Yassin) might have been shot with a bullet holding some sort of a chemical material that slowly spread through his body to kill him," Dr. Al Hashem said. | And the good doctor wouldn't lie. Right? |
He added that he asked permission from the victim’s family to do an autopsy on Yassin’s body, but they refused in respect of their son’s soul, before handing them the body for burial. This was not the first time IOF used unknown chemical material to oppress or deter the Palestinian people. In the beginning of the Al Aqsa Intifada, Israeli soldiers fired tear gas canisters at Palestinian protestors, mixed with a nerve agent, leading to severe muscle spasms and seizure-like symptoms in all those who inhaled the gas. | Ah ha! That explains it, they used the dreaded Seethe Gas! |
