This article uses ground-level sources to successfully explain and contextualize civilians injuries in Gaza never before seen by many doctors. This type of reporting is vital to fully understand what weapons Israel used, and why and where they did so; comprehending this will help explain all of Israel's motives for going into Gaza.

The articles strength lies in its range of sources, from military databases to key personal accounts. It is helpful that the writer contextualizes the issue with Mr Olmert's ceasefire announcement. Although the type of injuries are not new, context on Dime bombs (shouldn't it be DIME bombs?) makes this article a standout.

Excellent report on new and frightening kind of injuries Palestinians are suffering from Israeli attacks on Gaza, and United Nations' call for investigation of possible war crimes for use of unnecessarily brutal weapons on civilian population.

The story focuses attention on DIME explosives apparently used by Israel. Though designed to limit the radius of damage from an explosion, the micro-shrapnel creates difficult wounds with potential strong side effects.

Information on the use of these weapons is scant in American press.

Good story. Pity it didn't include more about the weapons and their position in international law in the context of the entire war. I find it unacceptable that a house should be destoyed, killing every inhabitant, just to kill one alleged 'terrorist'. Still, that seems to be the way things are done these days, "Hang 'em and then we'll have a trial." I wonder where they learned that?

The dime bombs are designed to reduce casualties of civilians. The author twists this to try to make Israelis into war criminals. If Hamas did not hide in schools and hospitals there would be fewer civilian casualties.
