Lebanon: Israel’s White Phosphorous Use Risks Civilian Harm

Israel's widespread use of white phosphorus in south Lebanon is putting civilians at grave risk and contributing to civilian displacement. Human Rights Watch verified the use of white phosphorus munitions by Israeli forces in at least 17 municipalities across south Lebanon since October 2023, including 5 municipalities where airburst munitions were unlawfully used over populated residential areas.
