    nearly 250 uses of white phosphorus by Israeli forces between October 2023 and November 2024

    It’s not a one off or a mistake.

    Beydoun said his findings suggested Israel’s military may be using white phosphorus “as a way to maybe start pushing people out” to create a “buffer zone” on the Lebanese side of the border.

    “It’s just a practical tool to use to burn fields, I think it’s mostly that,” he said. “It’s mostly for scorching the earth.”
