Original Note:
Nnn. There is a consensus that white phosphorus bombs are not illegal per se. They can be legally detonated in open areas. Air-busting it, however, over populated areas is unlawful because it places civilians at unnecessary risk & may amount to an indiscriminate attack. https://www.hrw.org/report/2009/03/25/rain-fire/israels-unlawful-use-white-phosphorus-gaza
