Original Note:
The use of the term “literally gassing” is misleading. The photo shows smoke, not evidence of the use of gas or chemical weapons. Smoke from munitions, including from white phosphorus smoke, is not considered a chemical weapon, nor it is usually described as “gassing”. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_phosphorus_munitions
