"Israel" has, since its attacks on Lebanon in 2006 and those on Gaza in 2008 and 2014, used a new nuclear weapon, one which kills with a high temperature radiation flash and with neutrons. ...
"Israel" and the USA (at least) have developed what is almost certainly a mini-neutron bomb. "Israel" is using it in Gaza. And may be using it in Lebanon (again).
EDIT: some important criticisms of the author have been raised in the comments. It's quite possible he's speculating too much from insufficient evidence. However, he does offer the following, which we shouldn't dismiss either:
- Enriched Uranium was found in Gaza according to this Nature article.
- A crater from an "israeli" bomb in Lebanon was found to be radioactive (original source was an unnamed Lebanese newspaper in 2006, but it was also discussed in this article in The Independent).
- Samples from the crater were found to contain enriched uranium (independently verified by the Harwell laboratory, as mentioned by The Independent article in 2).
Uh, what the fuck? Neutron bombs are a thing as far as I am aware, but why is this article all of a sudden talking about cold fusion? Definitely makes it so I can't share the article with anyone.
Yeah, this is just odd speculation on the author's part. There's really no need to guess how the neutron bombing has been done, or worse invoke discredited mechanisms for how the reaction took place. The discovery of enriched uranium is more than enough.
Yeah same that was off-putting for sure... The presence of enriched uranium is story enough
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muon-catalyzed_fusion maybe?
Wouldn't that need mechanism much larger than even the normal neutron bomb though? And entire thing is nowhere close to practical usage.
No clue, I'm not a physicist
I do think the guy might be a bit over his skis in trying to figure out why the enriched uranium is there as opposed to just reporting that it's there in the first place.
What is more likely, Israel and the us have developed some sort of compact neutron bomb mini weapon that they are deploying in secret, or, "depleted" uranium shells actually aren't depleted (would explain Fallujah as well)
That's not impossible, Israel do have cadre of good physicists apparently
DU shells by definition would lower the concentration of U-235, wouldn't they? In Gaza concentrations as high as 1.2% EU (U-235) versus the natural 0.7% were found in 2021.
If the uranium was actually depleted... Why it wouldn't be, either intentionally or accidentally I have no idea, I literally can't opine
