Attacks escalate as Israel uses incendiaries against
civilian targets
by Jason Ditz June 26, 2024 at 1:43 pm ET
Amid growing fear of a full-scale invasion, Israeli
warplanes carried out airstrikes against the southern
Lebanon town of Khiam, using incendiary white
phosphorous bombs, according to the National News
Agency.
Israel has not commented on the use of white phosphorous
in a populated civilian area, nor is it likely to. The
extent of any casualties is not known at the present.
In recent weeks, the use of phosphorous, even including
flinging fireballs into Lebanon with medieval
trebuchets, has become a go-to Israeli strategy. At the
time, Israel maintained setting fires was a security
measure, clearing brush in the agricultural areas of
southern Lebanon.
Employing white phosphorous is not actually illegal, but
the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons severely
regulates its use against civilian targets. Israel is a
signatory to the convention, but in its frequent warfare
with neighboring countries, does not appear to view the
regulation as restricting its use of the substance.
Beyond Khiam, Israel carried out strikes on Shebaa Farms
in southern Lebanon, destroying at least three homes,
and artillery strikes against Wazzani, Wadi Hamoul and
Dhayra.
Israeli jets also attacked what they described as
“infrastructure” in southern Lebanon, in places
including Kfar Chouba and Ayta ash-Shab. Israel’s
military released video footage of the attacks.
