Israel’s Use of Phosphorus Bomb Prompts Suffocation Crisis, Reveals Last Minute World News
Israel’s Use of White Phosphorus Ammunition in Gaza Strip Confirmed by Human Rights Watch
In a report issued in 2010, Human Rights Watch revealed that Israel had previously used ammunition containing white phosphorus in the Gaza Strip. The specific occurrence of this was during “Operation Cast Lead” which took place between December 2008 and January 2009.
The report emphasized that the use of white phosphorus by Israel in densely populated areas was one of the policies implemented by political and military leaders that resulted in severe violations of the rules of war. This information sheds light on the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine, where numerous humanitarian concerns have been raised.
In recent events, on the morning of October 7th, Hamas’s armed wing, known as Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, launched a comprehensive attack on Israel. This offensive, termed the “Aqsa Flood,” involved the firing of thousands of rockets from Gaza towards Israel. Furthermore, armed groups from Palestine managed to raid and capture the Beit Hanun-Erez Border Gate located on the Gaza-Israel border.
These developments highlight the continued tensions and clashes between the two sides, where both Israelis and Palestinians face the consequences of ongoing violence and a constant threat to their lives and well-being.
It is essential that international bodies and organizations take immediate action to address the situation and promote a peaceful resolution to the Israel-Palestine conflict. The use of white phosphorus ammunition and other violations of the rules of war must not go unchecked, as they contribute to the cycle of violence and diminish the prospects for a peaceful coexistence in the region.
