Original Note:
There is no evidence of white phosphorous being used against civilians as a weapon. While this video appears to show its use, it's most conventional use is for illumination, which given the height of the explosion and that it's nighttime is how it is being deployed here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_phosphorus_munitions?wprov=sfla1
