Human Rights Watch confirmed Israel’s use of white phosphorus in residential areas of the southern Lebanese town Yohmor on March 3, 2026.

Lebanese officials reported at least 394 fatalities and over 500,000 displaced due to ongoing Israeli strikes.

Despite a 2024 ceasefire, Israel intensified attacks south of the Litani River and deployed ground forces near the border.

HRW called for an immediate halt to white phosphorus use and urged countries supplying arms to Israel to suspend military aid.

"The Israeli military unlawfully used artillery-fired white phosphorus munitions over homes on March 3, 2026, in the southern Lebanese town of Yohmor," the New York-based rights group said in a report.— Human Rights Watch said in a report.
