Amnesty International is also investigating the possible use of the substance in northern Israel and Lebanon.
A 2010 Human Rights Watch report said Israel used ammunition containing white phosphorus in the Gaza Strip between December 2008 and January 2009.
M109 155mm type howitzers can be seen in the picture of ammunition that the army stockpiled in the city of Sderot, which lies 1km from the Gaza border. In recent days, videos have been shared on social media showing northern Gaza being hit by white phosphorus artillery shells. The location of another video showing the use of phosphorus, shared on social media on Oct 11, was determined to be near the Bank of Palestine Tower.
Fires caused by white phosphorus bombs can spread to large areas and can continue until the phosphorus in the area is exhausted. Periodic exposure to the substance can cause advanced deformation of the jaw bone and cause it to break.Under the United Nations Convention on Conventional Weapons , aerial incendiary weapons attacks in civilian areas are prohibited.
