Original Note:
This video does not show white phosphorus. It shows a "roof knocking" bomb, which is a low-yield explosive device designed to provide prior warning of imminent bombing attacks to give the inhabitants time to flee the attack. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roof_knocking https://twitter.com/AJEnglish/status/1710690655091990644 https://twitter.com/AuroraIntel/status/1710678560652837235 https://nypost.com/2021/05/20/video-shows-israeli-roof-knock-before-gaza-building-bombed/
