I get that they’re angry and want to retaliate, but uh… that’s a War Crime. Right!??
Israel have been committing war crimes as long as they have existed
But it’s Israel so they’ll never be held accountable.
Using it against infantry targets is, but WP use by itself does not necessarily indicate a war crime
It’s commonly used by nations around the world to produce smoke for the purposes of concealment or signaling/marking
I’m inclined to believe their intended use here are as artillery spotting rounds to guage whether fire is accurate or not, it’s not like Israel doesn’t have plenty of more effective conventional ways to kill people if that was their goal with these WP rounds
I would probably call its usage in such a densely populated urban area reckless and callous at best but that’s the name of the game in war unfortunately
I’m pretty sure the reckless and callous use of it in a densely populated urban area is exactly what escalates it to war crime
Well if they’re dead set on destroying whatever the target is, it’s either that or run a higher risk of your artillery missing and destroying some other random building, so it’s kinda lose-lose for everyone involved
War sucks and picking between different ways to accidentally kill civilians tends to be the reality
Remember when they would intentionally shoot Palestinians in the knees instead of the body? I assume it’s something like that.

No shit sherlock
it’s funny how double standards are in play when it comes to US and its propaganda guzzlers:
- Some Uyghurs perform a terrorist act, China uses re-education camps
“China is genociding innocent people, China is our enemy #1 and i’ll not so subtly hate anyone looking east asians”
- Hamas performs terrorist act, Israel blocks aid and supply to the area of civilians that are literally in open prison
“They deserve it, please support them”
I mean extremely horrible are bad but you see the double standards.
Jesus, chemical weapon in on civilians
Pretty sure that white phosphorus is an incendiary. That’s possibly worse.
It’s basically neo-napalm
