       ☣️🇺🇸🇮🇱🇱🇧The IDF responds and confirms the Washington Post's reports that white phosphorus was used in southern Lebanon: "The use was made in areas where there were no civilians and was intended to reveal Hezbollah launch sites."So, according to the IDF, the use of white phosphorus was for the purpose of masking and not for the purpose of an attack in accordance with international conventions.🔴@DDgeopolitics

       @Nazareno This comes up every year or two.  The "war crime" white phosphorous is exploding WP: a shell full of WP blows up, big chunks of burning phosphorous go all over, and it's a horror show when it hits people.  Relatively recently the US introduced smoke shells with a new system that ejects white phosphorus impregnated 3/4-inch felt wedges in flight (that's what you see in your picture).  This produces a better smoke screen without the terrible effects on people, i.e., not a war crime.

       @Nazareno It's also worth noting that the alternative to WP, HC (hexachloroethane) smoke is not only less effective for screening, but is also still incendiary (though not as much as WP), and dangerous, both in the short term (exposure of unprotected soldiers to high concentrations of HC smoke for even a few minutes has resulted in injuries and fatalities) and the long term (it's a carcinogen).  There is no risk free alternative to WP; military smoke is just nasty stuff.
