Israel Accused of White Phosphorus Attacks in Southern Lebanon
Lebanese state media reports Israeli forces used white phosphorus shells along with air strikes and heavy artillery across southern Lebanon overnight, damaging homes in Mansouri, Bayt al-Sayyad, and Majdal Zoun, with drones and additional strikes noted in nearby areas. The report follows prior warnings from rights groups about phosphorus munitions and reminders that using such incendiaries in densely populated civilian areas is prohibited under international law due to the risk of severe burns and respiratory harm.
