Over 34 months of its attacks on Lebanon, Israel repeatedly used white phosphorus, tracing the boundaries of its “security zone” in fire and smoke. Researcher Ahmad Baydoun presents some of the key figures and findings from his investigation. @whitephosphorus.info @baydoun.nl

White phosphorus is still falling on south Lebanon. A new @nytimes.com investigation by @sanjanamv.bsky.social, with verified footage as recent as May 30. It references the research database of 200+ strikes I've been building since Oct 2023. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/06/w...

98% of documented white phosphorus attacks in south Lebanon — tracked at whitephosphorus.info — fall within the IDF-declared "Forward Defense Zone." The zone Israel now claims as a military buffer is the same territory it systematically struck with that munition.

91% of documented white phosphorus strikes occurred before Israel's ground entry. 39% hit civilian areas and 16% agricultural land. Those figures contradict Israel’s version of its use and proximity to civilians. More findings in this video interview for @france24.com. Full article: f24.my/BffV

White phosphorus is not explicitly banned, but its use near civilians violates international humanitarian law. Our findings show its use in Lebanon was systematic rather than driven by military necessity, causing environmental and civilian harm. Explore: whitephosphorus.info

Sometimes the same white phosphorus strike was captured from different cameras and angles. In some cases even from across the Israel–Lebanon border, as with WP100 shown here. This makes geolocating each photographer’s point of view important to avoid double counting.

Access to daily satellite imagery significantly helped in geolocating, chronolocating, and assessing the burn marks of each strike. In some cases, no visible trace remained, especially under humid conditions or within urban areas. (Imagery shown of WP112 from Planet Labs)

Weather analysis (data from Visual Crossing) reveals a clear operational pattern. 95% of strikes occurred under clear skies, and over 90% during southerly winds from Israel into Lebanon. Dry conditions and southerly winds maximized plume drift northward and increased fire risk.

The IDF says white phosphorus was used for camouflage and smokescreens. Yet 91% of the strikes occurred before Israel’s ground invasion in October 2024; deep inside Lebanon, far from any troop presence. Its timing and location suggest a use unrelated to battlefield concealment.

The IDF claims white phosphorus shells “are not used in densely populated areas, with certain exceptions.” Yet 39% of strikes hit residential areas and 17% struck agricultural land. The remaining 44% struck forested or open terrain, possibly intended to clear vegetation.

NEW: We’ve added 53 more white phosphorus strikes to our archive whitephosphorus.info, bringing the total to 248 verified and geolocated incidents across South #Lebanon (2023–2024). The IDF says these were used as smokescreens, away from civilians. Our findings show otherwise. 🧵

Nearly all white phosphorus strikes by #Israel in South #Lebanon this past year fall within recently occupied Lebanese territories, as verified and geolocated by our team. This pattern of deliberate contamination blocks displaced residents from safely reclaiming their lands.

Israel created a buffer zone after using white phosphorus
Israel hit southern Lebanon 191 times with white phosphorus, is that tied to its dreams of a buffer zone?

Over the past year, we have been verifying, geolocating, and mapping white phosphorus use by Israel over Lebanon. Today, we’re officially launching whitephosphorus.info, a platform dedicated to tracking the distribution of this toxic weapon. 🧵
