Regardless of legality of it I truly wonder what the point even is of using WP as an offensive weapon in 2026 in the day and age of high precision munitions like the ‘ninja’ Hellfire missiles. Incendiary weapons just seem like a great way to get as much collateral damage as possible. And the psychological impact would be unlikely to do anything when fighting fanatics.

Another misinformation. Too much antisemitism on this platformÂ

Is the white phosphorous in the room with us right now.

Likely laying a smokescreen to cover ground forces

This is definitely not “willy Pete”. WP can be used as a smoke screen, this is some other incendiary round. Looks kinda thermitish.

They deleted the video last time this was posted in the morning and didn’t quote a rule or reason. Sounds about right.

Israel don’t care about committing war crimes, nor murdering civilians aka collective punishment. It’s not the first time they’ve used WP, and certainly won’t be the last.

Everything that looks like it could maybe be perceived as white phosphorus, is indeed white phosphorus. Even when it’s actually not white phosphorus.

I’m far from an expert, but from seeing other WP stuff on reddit and liveleak, this doesn’t look like it. It deploys too high. If I’m wrong in some clear way can someone tell me what to look for?

What are war crimes when no one is willing to enforce them?

Isn’t this a serious war crime, and the whole purpose Asaad regime got flagged for crime against humanity.

I’m confused, some people said is a smoke round, some people said that’s WP. Which one is true? Maybe people got confused to WP because some footage on YouTube behaves similiar to this?

Same as the Hezbollah using Cluster Munitions against the Israeli population tho. War is war, and there are no good guys when there is war. People have to remember that war is war, and there are no fair rules in war. You have to do what you have to do to defeat your adversaries.
Also, phosphorus has many uses. It is also used as a smoke screen. During World War 2, the British soldiers carried phosphorus grenades.

I could have swear I saw very similar footage like this one that was labeled Iran dropping cluster bombs on Isreal?
If you don’t know WP when you see it, feel free to look here and see exactly what confirmed Israeli white phosphorus rounds look like.

I swear I’ve since this same video, lighting, and angle from a year ago 🤨

with “very high camera resolution” i can’t see if it targets anything or is just used as legal smokescreen (apparently you can use it as a smokescreen, easily abusable by placibg your “smoke screen” over enemy’s positions)

So many Israeli bots in here.

That tripped me the fuck out, because it looked like a rocket was launched *up* and stalled. Instead of looking like actual ordinance was being *dropped*.

Isn’t white phosphorus a war crime under Geneva?

Actually, no.
Would that be a war crime then?
