Is this the same tech that was used for the Maui fires?

Ha.

The accusation seems to be the use of thermobaric bombs:

Quote:Palestinian Territory - An international committee of experts must be established to look into the weapons Israel has been using as part of its genocide in the Gaza Strip, ongoing since 7 October 2023, including the potential use of bombs that produce such high heat that victims’ bodies evaporate.

Testimonies received by Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor reveal a horrific new level of killing in the Strip: victims whose bodies appear to have evaporated or melted as a result of Israel’s bombing of residential homes.

The Israeli army’s use of massive destruction in entire residential squares during its genocidal war on the Gaza Strip has resulted in a shockingly high number of casualties. This raises fears about the potential use of “thermal weapons”, or what are known as “vacuum bombs”, which are well-known in military circles for their efficacy in demolishing caves and underground tunnel complexes.

Thousands of victims remain missing, either because it was impossible to recover them from under the debris in light of insufficient equipment and technical know-how, or because their bodies were either hidden by the Israeli army or no longer exist. A number of the victims killed in these horrifying Israeli raids on residential buildings have vanished and may have turned to ashes, raising questions about the type of bombs used in the attacks....

Furthermore, the Gaza Civil Defense Service has released several statements concerning the dissolution of victims’ corpses, and their conversion into ashes. These statements have included information on the mass grave discovered in the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis, in the south of the Gaza Strip, in April 2024.

An international investigation must be launched into Israel’s probable use of internationally banned weapons, including thermobaric bombs, which operate by first using small conventional explosives to create a cloud of highly flammable particles or droplets. A second explosive device then ignites the cloud of combustible materials, producing extremely high temperatures of up to 2500 degrees Celsius, which cause severe burning of skin and internal body parts, charring corpses to the point of complete melting or evaporation, particularly in areas where the explosion cloud is denser. Investigators must determine the precise type(s) of weapon used; preliminary estimates indicate that certain bodies may also have begun to decompose into ash sometime after death—a result of conditions brought on by thermal bombs.

The Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907, the Geneva Conventions of 1949, and international humanitarian law all forbid the use of thermal bombs against civilians in populated civilian areas. The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court also classifies the use of thermal bombs as a war crime....

But wait! Space lasers!

Edit to add: I couldn't find a transcript of the press conference where they made these claims, but the quotes I found mentioned them spiraling about "use of internationally-banned weapons", which would imply they're not saying this is some new unseen technology. Anyway, biased sources, grain of salt, blah blah blah. You get it.
