It’s worth noting that ‘banned weapons’ never stoped the #US from using #ClusterBombs nor #Israel from using #WhitePhosphorous bombs in their illegal aggressions.

#Israel's apparent use of #WhitePhosphorous in the suburbs of #Beirut tonight reminds the world yet again the #genocidal #apartheid regime's deliberate strategy of #terror and suffering on civilian populations of its neighbors. White phosphorous causes 4th & #5thDegreeBurns on contact with human tissue, and its use in such a densely populated neighborhood would represent another in a long litany of #WarCrimes and #GraveBreaches of #CustomaryInternationalHumanitarianLaw

Lebanon: Israel’s White Phosphorous Use Risks Civilian Harm

Israel’s Widespread Use of White Phosphorus in Lebanon, Gaza Violates Int’l Law: Human Rights Watch

Israeli forces have illegally dropped white phosphorus munitions on densely populated residential areas in southern Lebanon, according to a new report by Human Rights Watch. White phosphorus, which poses a high risk of excruciating burns and lifelong suffering, was dropped by Israel over at least 17 municipalities in Lebanon since October 2023. Lebanon’s Ministry of Public Health says at least 173 people have been injured in the white phosphorus attacks, which have also caused hundreds of forest fires in Lebanon. “It can burn down to the bone and cause lifelong suffering,” says Ramzi Kaiss, a researcher at Human Rights Watch. “This widespread use is putting civilians at grave risk and also contributing to displacement.”
