The Israelis don't talk about it much, but Stanley P. Lovell, Deputy Director of Research and Development for the OSS during World War II, reported on it in his biography of the organization, Of Spies and Stratagems.I didn't know Israelis resorted to that.
He also, in the only place I have ever seen it, reported on the Navy's plan to bombard Iwo Jima with poison gas shells a day before launching Operation Detachment, the invasion of the island. The plan got as far as the shells being built, being approved by the planning staff, approved by the Chief of Naval Operations, before it was presented for final approval by Franklin Delano Roosevelt. FDR's response was to write on the title sheet, "REQUEST DENIED - FDR" in big, red letters. Even though the Japanese did not have good anti-gas protection for their troops, even though neither the United States nor Japan had signed the anti-gas convention that is part of the Geneva Protocols and therefore could use poison gas legally, even though it was clear by February of 1945 that the Japanese would fight to the last man, Roosevelt was unwilling to employ a weapon that had been greeted with repugnance by world opinion when the Germans used it in World War I. Lovell could see FDR's point, but he also considered the 6100 dead Marines and wondered if not using poison gas was the right decision.
