**Israel admits using phosphorus bombs during war in Lebanon**
Israel has acknowledged for the first time that it attacked Hezbollah targets during the second Lebanon war with phosphorus shells. White phosphorus causes very painful and often lethal chemical burns to those hit by it, and until recently Israel maintained that it only uses such bombs to mark targets or territory.
The announcement that the Israel Defense Forces had used phosphorus bombs in the war in Lebanon was made by Minister Jacob Edery, in charge of government-Knesset relations. He had been queried on the matter by MK Zahava Gal-On (Meretz-Yahad).
"The IDF holds phosphorus munitions in different forms," Edery said. "The IDF made use of phosphorous shells during the war against Hezbollah in attacks against military targets in open ground."

What the Haaretz article doesn't point out is that Israel declared anyone and anything in Southern Lebanon to be "Hezbollah" and therefore deserving of having their flesh melted to the bone with chemical weapons, including children.

And just in case anyone was left alive, the Israeli Death Force dropped millions of cluster bombs over southern Lebanon, an act that even some IDF rocket commanders described as "monstrous and barbaric".
