(Beirut) – The Israeli military unlawfully used artillery-fired white phosphorus munitions over homes on March 3, 2026, in the southern Lebanese town of Yohmor, Human Rights Watch said today.

Human Rights Watch verified and geolocated seven images showing airburst white phosphorus munitions being deployed over a residential part of the town and civil defense workers responding to fires in at least two homes and one car in that area.

“The Israeli military’s unlawful use of white phosphorus over residential areas is extremely alarming and will have dire consequences for civilians,” said Ramzi Kaiss, Lebanon researcher at Human Rights Watch. “The incendiary effects of white phosphorous can cause death or cruel injuries that result in lifelong suffering.”

        Not sure what you’re implying, but I’m suggesting we attack Israel, round up the entire government and military, and send them to be converted into useful biomass.

              You don’t commit holocaust against a government, or it’s military. You commit it against a people, regardless of what they do or support.

              That’s the reason for the pushback.

                They were calling for a “second holocaust”. As in “a continuation of the shoa”. This is not a misunderstanding.

                Fair enough, bad choice of words in a heated moment. What would be the correct term for eliminating a country’s entire government and military?

                P.S. - thanks for clarifying what was up Duke_Nukem’s ass, instead of instantly going rambo.
