Visual Evidence Shows #Israel Using #WhitePhosphorus in #Lebanon
Often deployed by militaries to create fires & smoke screens during combat, white phosphorus is not illegal in itself, but deploying it deliberately against #civilians or in an area populated by civilians violates the international #LawsOfWar. #HumanRights advocates have raised concerns that civilians have been affected by the #IDF’s use of it.

“An unfathomable horror,” Simon Mane, a national director for the World Vision aid group, said. “Children are not just dying; they are being brutally robbed of their very existence, their hopes & futures cruelly wiped away. Their fate is a devastating moral failure.”
#Aid groups said hundreds were killed & hundreds detained since the #RSF overran the city, but a death toll has been difficult to determine given a near communication blackout.
