    @idkwhatimdoing it’s only legal for smokescreens if you have taken all reasonable precautions to ensure that by doing so, you’re not also inflicting it on civillians.

    The injuries it produces are horrific.

      We literally just watched them shell an entire city of civilians who complied with an order to leave all their earthly possessions and gather in the city center.

      They targeted the city center.

          Fair point.

          Murdock probably owns all of it and this is a good reminder that noone knows what the fuck happened except the people who were there.

      Yes, which the article does not say they’ve failed to do. In fact, the article says that the videos submitted as evidence seem to support its legal use not in Gaza, but near Lebanon, and that Human Rights Watch submitted no videos at all showing white phosphorus in Gaza.
