The Lebanon-based NNA news agency reported on Tuesday that the IOF used phosphorus munitions in overnight shelling aggression targeting multiple villages and areas along the Lebanese border.

The report said that "Israel" targeted residential homes in the Ed Douair area, injuring several individuals. 

The wounded were then transported to hospitals in the city of Tyre.

BREAKING: Israel is now dropping internationally-prohibited white phosphorus bombs on South Lebanon.

Another blatant war crime committed with U.S. backing.

This comes in light of recent reports by human rights organizations, including Human Rights Watch, that indicate that "Israel" has used white phosphorus in Gaza and Lebanon amid escalations.

In a Q&A article about white phosphorus, Human Rights Watch expressed concerns about the Israeli occupation's use of phosphorus in military operations in Gaza and Lebanon, highlighting the serious and long-term risks it poses to civilians.

Human Rights Watch substantiated these claims with video evidence from Lebanon and Gaza, depicting multiple airbursts of artillery-fired white phosphorus over the Gaza City port and two rural locations along the occupied Palestine-Lebanon border.

IOF Spokesperson Peter Lerner later denied the HRW report in an interview with CNN last Friday, saying that "Israel" did not use white phosphorus in Gaza and Lebanon.

The following day, Amnesty International presented compelling evidence contradicting the IOF's denial of using white phosphorus during recent aggressions.

IDF denies using white phosphorus, but we at @amnesty verified images of Israeli forces on October 9 near Sderot with artillery shells labelled D528 - the US Department of Defense Identification Code for white phosphorus-based rounds.

Last Tuesday, the Palestinian Foreign Ministry accused the IOF of employing white phosphorus ammunition. UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric later stated that the organization did not know of any reports regarding the potential use of such weaponry by "Israel."
