ISRAEL has debuted its "Iron Sting" weapons system for the first time as its commandos mount raids inside the Gaza Strip.
Israel's military and defence electronics maker, Elbit Systems, said the weapons system uses “precise, laser and GPS guided mortar munition” to hit targets in dense, urban environments, while “reducing the possibility of collateral damage and preventing injury to non-combatants." "During the night there were raids by tank and infantry forces. These raids are raids that kill squads of terrorists who are preparing for our next stage in the war.Yesterday, Israel blitzed Gaza in what is believed to be its most intense 24hr period of air strikes as their expected ground invasion looms ever-nearer.Gaza's health ministry says more than 5,000 have been killed since Israel began its bombardment of Gaza, with 400 killed in the last 24 hours.
It also comes as instructions on how to make chemical weapons, including cyanide bombs, were reportedly found on the body of a dead terrorist.
