The UK's Channel 4 News 7pm bulletin tonight broadcast a film containing compelling evidence that Israel used white phosphorus, DIME bombs and flechettes in densely populated civilian areas of Gaza. The piece included a former Pentagon weapons expert, now working with an NGO, examining a blast scene where civilians had been killed. What remained of the blast scene was very unusual.
There were also interviews with victims with very strange shrapnel in their body - seen by X-Ray.
For an introduction to the nature of DIME bombs, and Flechettes, see the wiki entries:

I hope Channel 4's film turns up on the internet later.
After it was broadcast, the anchor (Jon Snow) interviewed Israel's answer to Alastair Campell, Mark Regev. Regev tried to shout Snow down.
But then, the evidence in Channel 4's film brought shame on the state of Israel.
A shame that will not be easily or quickly lost.
