LONDON, (PIC)-- Human Rights Watch has disclosed that its researchers had monitored the explosion of white phosphorus bombs in the air over Gaza city and Jabalia refugee camp on 9 and 10 January.
The human rights group said that the Israeli occupation forces were using this bomb to conceal its military operations, which is allowed in principle according to the international law.
However, the HRW said that the incendiary device has a strong effect on humans that could lead to severe burns and could incinerate buildings, fields and other civilian materials.
The damage is greater on civilians due to the high population density in the Gaza Strip, the highest in the world, the group underlined.
A 41-year-old woman called Hanan Al-Najjar was killed after being hit with the shrapnel of a phosphorus bomb, which was used in abundance by the invading IOF soldiers east of Khuza town in southern Gaza.
Medical sources told PIC reporter that 50 other citizens were wounded in the shelling of those bombs in the vicinity of the woman's home.
