Original Note:
Those aren't white phosphorous bombs from a plane, those are smoke canisters from an M150 155mm smoke projectile fired by artillery. Their purpose is to provide a smoke screen on the ground. Each projectile delivers 5 canisters, as you can see in the video. https://elbitsystems.com/product/artillery-ammunition-portfolio/ https://cat-uxo.com/explosive-hazards/projectiles/155mm-m150-smoke-hc
