White Phosphorus Over Lebanese Civilian Areas and the US Supply Question

Israel deployed white phosphorus over Lebanese civilian areas in 191 reported attacks across 17+ municipalities since October 2023, continuing through March 2026; US-supplied munitions were identified in the October 2023 Dhayra attack. HRW found the March 2026 Yohmor use unlawfully indiscriminate and called on states, including the US, to suspend arms transfers. US criminal complicity in the 2026 attacks is not shown.
