Use of white phosphorus in of itself is not considered a war crime. White phosphorus burns very bright and produces smoke, so it can be used to illuminate enemy targets at night or provide a smokescreen for cover. It is only potentially a war crime when used against civilians. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/what-is-white-phosphorus-russia-ukraine/

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1712584964452082014
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
