Original Note:
The use of phosphorus smoke grenades is not banned by any international law. Experts classify them not primarily as incendiary devices, but rather as concealment tools, given that their principal purpose is to generate a smoke screen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoke_grenade https://www.chemeurope.com/en/encyclopedia/White_phosphorus_%28weapon%29.html
