White phosphorous has been accused of being used by Israel...
Human Rights watch claims that during military operations in Gaza and Lebanon, the Israeli Defense Force fired white phosphorus. As per Human Rights watch, "people are exposed to severe and protracted injuries." "The implementation of white phosphorus towards people in Gaza, one of the globe's highest density populated areas, puts citizens' life in risk and violates international law, the organization stated.
The Israeli army has not responded to inquiries on its use of white phosphorus in Lebanon, according to news agency Reuters. Aside from this, the army has stated that they are unaware of any use of white phosphorous in the Gaza region.
White phosphorus - A material known as white phosphorus burns when it comes into contact with air. This material releases heat that is greater than 800 degrees Celsius when it comes into contact with air. White phosphorous is employed in warfare, and when it comes into touch with people, it can be extremely harmful to their health. The human body experiences an excruciating burning sensation when it comes into contact with it.
The victim of the injury may experience breathing difficulties and other body parts may sustain harm after getting into contact with it. There is a chance of death if 10% of the body comes into contact with it, but for those who make it through the damage caused by white phosphorus, the remainder of their life is destroyed and they must endure constant anguish.
