A super high-explosive (S-HE) projectile has just joined Israel’s arsenal of lethal artillery bombs that its army uses against Palestinian civilians in particular.
According to Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper the government-owned Israel Military Industries company manufactured this new projectile whose warhead is up to five times more destructive against individuals and armored vehicles than its HE forerunners.
Its parachuted 23-kilogram warhead also detonates precisely at an optimum height over any target and thus covers a wider area about 6000 square meters.
Although the Israeli government keeps claiming that its bombs and missiles comply with the Oslo Convention those projectiles have claimed the lives of thousands of civilians including children and destroyed tens of thousands of homes and structures during different military operations against Gaza.
