UNIFIL says Israel has used white phosphorus as Israeli military continues to attack UN peacekeepers

The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon has reiterated it will remain in place despite ongoing, deliberate attacks against its members by Israeli forces.  

UNIFIL also said it found evidence of possible use of white phosphorus weapons near one of its bases.  International Law has declared the use of white phosphorus as illegal.  

This comes as Hezbollah says it’s entering a “new phase” of its fight against Israeli forces that have invaded Lebanon, including the introduction of new weapons. 

Israel has killed at least 2,400 people in Lebanon and forcibly displaced over 1.34 million people over the past several months alone.
