What a relief! , Here I was thinking it was an incendiary non-discriminate weapon that could horribly maim civilians if used in a densely populated city like beirut.
Simply pointing it out because use of white phosphorus is probably a war crime under the Geneva convention but thermite isn’t. Also people in this thread are reading an awful lot into a very low rez thumbnail that doesn’t even appear in the article and for all I know has nothing to do with the israel-lebanon comflict.
Is there an image available with a higher resolution? Because you can’t really see what is being bombed in the picture. Using white phosphorous is only a war crime if it is used close to civilians. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_phosphorus_munition#International_law
Could also just be thermite
