Activists report white phosphorus attacks on Aleppo
Activists have reported the use of white phosphorus being used on rebel-held areas on Aleppo City, Syria, on 22 September. It has not been independently verified that white phosphorus was used but the video shows the sky being lit up and residents reported an attack with fires after the bombing, suggesting that some incendiary may have been used. If white phosphorus lands on a persons skin it can burn right through the flesh to the bone.
