- The escalating tensions have fuelled fears of an all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah.
(Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News...)
But for Lebanese and Israeli civilians living either side of the border, the near-daily exchange of rocket fire has already turned lives upside down.
Israel has been accused of deliberately trying to contaminate land in Lebanon, with its use of white phosphorus - a toxic, incendiary chemical.
Simona Foltyn travelled to Meis al-Jabal - a Lebanese border town devastated by months of bombardment.
In response to our report, the the Israel Defence Forces told us:
Under IDF directives, white phosphorus shells are not used for targeting or causing fire.
IDF procedures require that such shells are not used in densely populated areas, with certain exceptions. This complies with and exceeds the requirements of international law, which do not specifically impose such restrictions.
The accusation against the IDF of trying to depopulate Southern Lebanon, or to contaminate areas, are not based on facts and are completely false.

They’ve been using it for YEARS in Gaza. But they can do whatever they want right??Surprise Surprise.
Do you hold my other country to the standards you do Israel? Do you rail against Iran, Syria and Lebanon for their appalling human rights abuses and murders?
Why would they contaminate their own land? They did not
@@heinkle1 The problem is our government regularly condemn these countries, when it comes to Israel instead of condemning it they offer military, financial and political support. So we ordinary people have to condemn them until our government does.

Great - are you demanding the leaders of Iran, Syria and Lebanon being taken to The Hague?
😂 yeah, the part you miss is this is a defensive war. Hezbollah launched a war on Oct 8th, long before Gaza offensive and continues to launch indiscriminate rockets today (all war crimes). This land will never return to Lebanon, it will be a no man’s land annexed by Israel, you can thank Islamism, which has turned a Christian majority country in Lebanon into another Islamist failed state
@@heinkle1 no one is above the law, not even Israeli Government officials.

@SarahMaria-gz5zp yeh if someone starts a war they tend to be the offensive side not the defensive side, do you not think hamas are terrorists for what they did? And please do not conflate all palestinians with hamas. People become terrorists for doing terrorism not for just going down the road to get a hot dog which now is impossible for gaza and others in israel and lebanon because of hamas and hezbollah, they could literally make a peace deal tomorrow but choose war but also with kamala and Biden the wars will continue forever.
I’m assuming that you are talking about the guys interviewed in the piece? Or the farmers filmed keeping their goats? Or the displaced villagers? Cos if that’s who you are talking about, they didn’t attack anyone. Which is why chemical warfare and targeted attacks against civilians is a war crime. It also confirms that you and your ilk are racists: just because someone is a Palestinian or Lebanese doesn’t make them a terrorist. In the same way that, just because someone is Jewish, doesn’t necessarily mean that they are a bloodthirsty war criminal.
lol thieves blaming the owners. Throughoit history that’s what you did. That’s why god made you stateless till messiah comes. You will

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't the Palestinians there first, and the Jews started mass illegal immigration starting in 1850? So really it wasn't the Palestinians who started this you see, they've always been the defenders against illegal European immigrants.

Israel killed 7000 Palestinians (1500 kids) in 15 years preceding 10/7: 330 Israelis (26 kids) died at hands of Palestinian militants over same time period. Israel killed more Palis both before and after 7/10, yet you expect the Arabs just to lie down and take it. Why? Because you're a racial supremacist.
For a land that is holy, the IDF don't seem to have much of a problem with cursing it with chemical warfare.
Israelis and Arabs are suffering the same fate. The beloved land is dying. I cannot stop crying for all of them. I wonder if they cry for each other.
they are... many israelis dont agree with the actions of their nuts government. They even support palestine (maybe not all of them but many do)

I was in the family building in Haret Hreik (the place of the Israeli targeting), and my memories were the sofa was riddled with Israeli bullets, and the entire wall was pierced with Israeli bullets, the entire building, I am so sorry Haret Hreik,🌸🌸
Welcoming the day that white phosphorus lands in tel aviv and the BBC tell us how terrible it is
Christopher Hitchens has said that there were 4 ways a nation state previously sovereign may lose it's sovereignty:
1) For occupying and invading the territory of other nations.
2) Fooling around with the non-proliferation treaty by attempting to acquire weapons of mass destruction.
3) For giving aid, comfort, and harbor to international terrorists or terrorist groups.
4) For violating the genocide convention, which mandates that a sovereign nation must move to punish or prevent genocide.
It seems to me that Israel has met and continues to violate each and every single one of these conditions.
Who lets this misinformation be published on TH-cam! This needs to be removed immediately
Israel didn't start all this...They had no choice but to fight back.
What? Herzl started it in 1897.

Wait, this has been reported for MONTHS now. They have been doing this for a while in Lebanon and Gaza, and once South Africa brought them to the ICJ, they stopped dropping those in Gaza. They've been doing that since the beginning of the genocide.
Oh well. Should’ve minded your own business. 🤷🏻♀️

Doesn't just fire and toxic smoke, if it gets on skin it will burn through flesh and bone and won't be extinguished easily.
The blair&bush crusade for global instability to promote extremism also used white phosphorous for clearing buildings.
Given the murder of peacekeepers and aid workers in the illegally occupied territories being safe is reliant more on luck.

@pqunit you sound extremely confused and I have doubts that you might not know the definition of the words "conspiracy theories"
Jewish historians and writers have written extensively about the colonizers coming in around 30s and 40s until presently to be non semetic but of eastern European backgrounds. They are called different names in different parts of the world like name stealers, identity thieves, squatters, khazars, ashkenazis etc.. but somehow they are all conspiracy theories to a wasteman like you 🤣🤣🤣
@@samfadi8716 Nope. That whole “khazar” conspiracy theory was invented by American white supremacists about 40yrs ago as an attempt to claim they weren’t actually antisemitic. And you’ve fallen for it. The history of Jewish people in Europe is very well documented and their genetic history has been studied in depth. They did indeed originate in the Middle East but experienced a genetic bottleneck in the Middle Ages as a result of the pogroms. So that now, just like Ethiopian Jews are dark skinned, they’re light skinned.
All this information is easily verifiable for anyone reading this.

ChatGPT:
Military Use:
International Humanitarian Law (IHL): The use of white phosphorus is regulated under IHL, specifically the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW) and its Protocol III on incendiary weapons. While white phosphorus is not outright banned, its use is restricted, especially in areas with civilian populations. Protocol III prohibits the use of incendiary weapons against civilians and in air attacks against military forces in concentrations of civilians.
Specific Military Applications: White phosphorus is often used in military applications for creating smoke screens, signaling, and illumination. These uses are generally considered legal under IHL as long as precautions are taken to minimize harm to civilians.
Thank you channel 4 for at least reporting this
Its a sin against nature and humanity. Whatever the justification.
Key facts
White phosphorus is a chemical waxy solid substance typically appearing yellowish or colourless, and some have described its odour as resembling garlic.
It ignites instantly upon contact with oxygen. It is often used by militaries to illuminate battlefields, to generate a smokescreen and as an incendiary.
Once ignited, white phosphorus is very difficult to extinguish. It sticks to surfaces like skin and clothing.
So they’re using chemical weapons.
