Original Note:
This video does not show white phosphorus. It shows a "roof knocking" bomb, 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://nypost.com/2021/05/20/video-shows-israeli-roof-knock-before-gaza-building-bombed/ SMOKE grenades with phosphorus like 155mm are legal. https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/jus-bello-white-phosphorus-getting-law-correct
