These fuckers are dropping white phosphorus bombs on Lebanon! Each bomb shoots out 116 burning felt wedges impregnated with white phosphorus over an area up to 250 meters in diameter. And they're dropping them on people's apartments:

White phosphorus is nasty stuff. Particles of white phosphorus catch on fire as soon as they touch air, and they continue to burn until completely consumed or starved of oxygen. If they land on you not only do they burn holes in you, the phosphorus can cause liver, heart and kidney damage.

If white phosphorus burns you, you need to immediately smother it using water, damp cloth or mud, isolating it from oxygen until fragments can be removed. Military forces typically do this with a bayonet or knife. Then you can apply bicarbonate solution to the wound to neutralise any build-up of phosphoric acid, and make sure to remove of remaining visible fragments: these are easily observed since they glow in the dark. You may also need to cut away tissue around the wound to remove fragments too small to see.

I will not show you a picture of a kid in Gaza after his white phosphorus landed on his back. Just imagine someone doing this to your neighborhood.
