Israeli artillery hits Al-Mansouri in southern Lebanon
Original: Breaking | Israeli artillery shells the town of Al-Mansouri, southern Lebanon, with internationally prohibited white pho
Reports from southern Lebanon say Israeli artillery shelled the town of Al-Mansouri, with claims that white phosphorus munitions were used. White phosphorus is restricted under international law because of the severe burns it causes, and its alleged use has drawn repeated condemnation from human rights groups. The report comes amid ongoing cross-border exchanges between Israel and Hezbollah-linked areas of Lebanon, which have displaced residents and raised fears of a wider conflict.
Why now: The alleged use of internationally restricted white phosphorus munitions amid escalating Israel-Lebanon border tensions is drawing international attention.
