Washington, SANA -- Human Rights Watch strongly slammed the use of artillery-delivered
white phosphorus by the US-led coalition in Raqqa province in Syria under the pretext of fighting ISIS, urging it not to use it as an incendiary weapon to attack personnel or materiel in populated areas, even when delivered from the ground.
Activists posted on the social media sites pictures and videos of the coalition's raids on the east and west of Raqqa, showing the use of the internationally banned
white phosphorus bombs during a number of raids.
White phosphorus is capable of burning human flesh to the bone.
White phosphorus munitions have been used in at least six other armed conflicts between 2000 and 2017 in Afghanistan, Ukraine, Somalia, Iraq, Gaza and Lebanon.
