Israel drops ‘depleted uranium bombs’ inside Beirut: Official

Israel has been accused of using depleted uranium bombs in Beirut, Lebanon. The Lebanese Chemists Syndicate claims that the destruction observed suggests the use of such weapons, known for their penetrating power[1][2]. However, the Lebanese Ministry of Health stated there is no evidence yet of uranium use in the attacks[2]. Reports indicate that Israel dropped 80 one-ton bombs during strikes in late September, which may have included depleted uranium[3][5]. Depleted uranium is controversial due to its potential health risks, including cancer and birth defects[1].
