ANKARA: Amnesty International on Saturday published evidence about the Israeli military's use of white phosphorus in densely populated civilian areas in the Gaza Strip.
Videos and photos verified by Amnesty International's Crisis Evidence Laboratory show Israel used white phosphorus on the enclave it has been bombing since Oct 7, reported Anadolu Agency.M109 155 mm type howitzers can be seen in the picture of ammunition that the army stockpiled in the city of Sderot, which lies 1 kilometre from the Gaza border.
In recent days, videos have been shared on social media showing northern Gaza being hit by white phosphorus artillery shells.Crisis Evidence Laboratory, which confirmed the images taken from different angles of the attacks on Gaza Port and nearby hotels, also shared satellite images of the attack point.
White phosphorus, which can cause second and third-degree burns on the skin, easily catches fire when it comes into contact with oxygen. When used as a bomb, it causes fires as well as an explosive effect. White phosphorus sticks to surfaces and is also contagious. That is why those treating injuries caused by the bomb need to receive special training to protect themselves.
