Israel accused of using dangerous white phosphorus on civilian areas in Lebanon
Lebanon - Mohammad Hammud, in his late 70s, was at home with his wife in a south Lebanon border village when Israeli bombing hit. This time, the attack was different.
"Fire broke out in front of the house... there was a strange smell... we had trouble breathing," he told AFP by telephone from his village of Hula.
"We thought it was a regular bombing, but when the emergency responders arrived, they told us it was phosphorus and took us to hospital," he said.
The Israeli military and Lebanon's Hezbollah movement have been exchanging near-daily fire since Israel launched its bombardment and invasion of Gaza in October.
Lebanon has accused Israel of using controversial white phosphorus rounds in attacks authorities say have harmed civilians and the environment.
