Human Rights Watch on Thursday accused Israel of using white phosphorus munitions in its military operations in Gaza and Lebanon, saying the use of such weapons puts civilians at risk of serious and long-term injury.
It provided links to two videos posted on social media that it said show “155mm white phosphorus artillery projectiles being used, apparently as smokescreens, marking, or signaling”. Both show scenes near the Israel-Lebanon border, it said.
HRW doesn’t claim it was used directly as a weapon. IDF denies using it at all.
There is multiple lines in the article stating exactly that. Where do get that from?!

Using it as a smokescreen or marking areas is NOT using it as a weapon
