Human Rights teams have accused Israeli forces of utilizing the chemical white phosphorus in Gaza and Lebanon.
Amnesty Worldwide says it has verified movies exhibiting white phosphorus artillery shells being fired by the Israeli military into civilian areas in Gaza.
Its use in densely populated areas is taken into account a conflict crime.
White phosphorus is used as a smokescreen, or as a weapon.
It ignites when uncovered to air, and might burn via flesh, inflicting horrific deformities.
Donatella Rovera is Amnesty Worldwide’s Senior Disaster Adviser.
She explains how Amnesty verified the usage of white phosphorus by the Israeli military in Gaza.
