The US government is “certainly concerned” about the possibility that the Israeli military misused US-made white phosphorous munitions during an attack in southern Lebanon two months ago, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said Monday.
Mr Kirby, who addressed reporters aboard Air Force One en route to an appearance by President Joe Biden in Philadelphia, said American officials have seen a recent Washington Post report indicating that Israel made use of the incendiary rounds, which were made in US facilities in Arkansas and Louisiana in the early 1990s.
