BREAKING: Israel is now dropping internationally-prohibited white phosphorus bombs on South Lebanon.

The Israeli military, on Tuesday, reported intercepting 4 out of the 15 rocket launches originating from Lebanon.
Designed for military combats to inflict fires on adversaries, these incendiary bombs contain chemical compounds that are challenging to extinguish.
This escalation is part of a broader context where, on the previous Sunday, Hezbollah engaged in a series of retaliations with Israel, exchanging artillery and missile fire. This confrontation follows a significant assault by Hamas on Israel, marking it as one of the most substantial attacks in recent years.
