Israel Denies Using White Phosphorus Bombs in Gaza Strip

Israeli officials have denied using white phosphorus bombs in the Gaza Strip, despite reports from Palestinian witnesses and international observers.

White phosphorus is a highly flammable substance that can cause severe burns and respiratory problems. It is often used in military operations to create smoke screens or to mark targets. However, it is also banned from use in civilian areas under international law.

Palestinian witnesses and international observers have reported seeing white phosphorus bombs being used in the Gaza Strip during the recent conflict. They have also said that the bombs have caused severe burns and respiratory problems among civilians.

However, Israeli officials have denied using white phosphorus bombs. They say that the reports are false and that Israel is using only conventional weapons in the Gaza Strip.

The use of white phosphorus bombs in the Gaza Strip is a serious allegation. If true, it would be a violation of international law and a war crime.

The United Nations is currently investigating the allegations of white phosphorus use. If the allegations are found to be true, Israel could face international sanctions.

The use of white phosphorus bombs in the Gaza Strip is a complex and controversial issue. There is no clear consensus on whether or not Israel used these weapons. However, the allegations are serious and should be investigated thoroughly.
