A new controversy is spreading across global media after human-rights groups accused Israel of using white phosphorus shells in southern Lebanon.
The incendiary chemical ignites instantly when exposed to oxygen, producing intense heat and thick smoke. While it can legally be used for smoke screens, deploying it near civilian areas is heavily restricted due to the risk of devastating burns, fires, and long-term environmental damage.
Israel denies unlawful use, but organizations like Human Rights Watch say evidence from verified photos suggests otherwise. As tensions escalate across the region, calls are growing for an independent international investigation into the use of controversial weapons in modern warfare.
