Reported Use
DIME-type bombs were allegedly being used in the Gaza Strip by the Israel Defense Forces against Palestinian targets during July/August 2006. The investigation was performed by examining the unusual wounds, and a lab analysis of the metals found in the victims' bodies was reportedly "compatible with the hypothesis" that a DIME weapon was involved. Israel denied possessing or using such weapons.
Dr. Mads Gilbert and Dr. Erik Fosse, working on wounded from the 2008–2009 Israel–Gaza conflict, report injuries that they believe can only be caused by some new type of weapon used by Israel which they suspect are DIME bombs.
