"Rights Group Accuses Israel of Using White Phosphorous on Lebanese Homes"

Human Rights Watch claims Israel has used white phosphorus incendiary shells on residential buildings in southern Lebanon, potentially harming civilians and violating international law. The report includes interviews and verified images showing the use of these munitions in five towns. Israel denies targeting civilians, stating it uses white phosphorus as a smokescreen. The Lebanese Health Ministry reports 173 people required medical care after exposure. HRW urges the Lebanese government to allow the International Criminal Court to investigate these actions.
