IOF to use white phosphorus bombs in any future Gaza war

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- The Israeli army is to use the internationally-banned white phosphorus bombs in any future aggression on the Gaza Strip, Israeli press said.

The English-language Israeli paper Jerusalem Post said on its website on Thursday that an Israeli human rights activist, who is also a lawyer had filed a request with the Israeli higher court demanding a ban on the use of this material in the military attacks especially in the southern front, but the Israeli army rejected the demand, adding that it would only “restrict” its use.

Yair Naveh, the deputy chief of staff, said that he issued orders to limit the use of this bomb to the minimum in the event of any future operation in Gaza.

The southern command of the Israeli army had recently ordered its various divisions to prepare for a large-scale offensive on Gaza within the few coming months.
