Human Rights group, Amnesty International, stated that civilians in the south of Lebanon were injured when Israeli forces hit a village with shells that contained white phosphorus. On top of this, the group found 3 other instances where this had happened in the month of October. The Organization stated that the use of white phosphorus is illegal under international law when fired into civilian areas, as it can set buildings on fire & burn human flesh. During one of these instances, houses & cars were caught on fire, & 9 people were hospitalized with breathing problems.
