"Human Rights Watch (HRW) on Monday said the Israeli military unlawfully fired white phosphorus munitions in the town of Yohmor in southern Lebanon.
The international NGO said its researchers made this determination after verifying and geolocating seven images showing airburst white phosphorus munitions deployed over a residential part of the town on 03 March.
White phosphorus is highly toxic, creating clouds of phosphorus pentoxide that then react with the moisture in the air – or in people’s lungs – to form phosphoric acid. It reacts violently with oxygen, meaning it can ignite and set fire to certain targets once released."
