Original Note:
The legal use of White Phosphorus in combat is limited to masking purposes, such as smokescreens. Incendiary munitions are illegal. Its use on civilian targets and densely populated areas, like Israel's use in Gaza as described by the article, are a war crime. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_phosphorus_munitions
