Israel appears to use white phosphorus in Gaza, video shows

Video filmed on Wednesday of an Israeli strike on Gaza City port appears to show the use of white phosphorus, according to Brian Castner, a weapons investigator with Amnesty International, who reviewed the video at The Washington Post’s request.

Human Rights Watch published an analysis Thursday confirming white phosphorus was used at the port, based in part on the same video in addition to two witnesses who noted the stifling, characteristic smell.
