Dupe URL: IDF fears flotilla activists plan to use chemical weapons
2011-06-28
Chemicals as weapons. Ugly
Military sources tell the 'Post' they have intelligence showing that some participants in upcoming flotilla plan to kill IDF soldiers boarding their ships; say IHH members will participate in flotilla.

IDF sources said Monday night that new intelligence information obtained in recent days shows that participants of the flotilla planning to break IsraelÂ’s sea blockade over the Gaza Strip later this week plan to kill IDF soldiers who board their ships.

According to the information obtained by the IDF, some of the participants have prepared sacks with sulfur, which they plan to pour on the soldiers as they board the vessels.

“This is a chemical weapon, and if poured on a soldier it can paralyze him,” an IDF source told The Jerusalem Post Monday night. “If the sulfur is then lit on fire, the soldier will light up like a torch.”
Sulfur also causes chemical burns, I'm told. Such lovely people.
The information was obtained from closed meetings held by participants on the ships during which some voiced their intention to “murder Israeli soldiers,” according to the IDF.

Also, despite earlier predictions that members of the Turkish organization IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation would not participate in the flotilla, it now appears that some members will sail with the ships alongside other radical Islamic activists.
OMG, they lied?!?!?
The Navy has begun its final preparations to stop the vessels, and the IDF sources said that commandos who board the ships will be prepared for a wide-range of scenarios from no violence at all to extreme and violent resistance from the passengers.
