DHEIRA, Lebanon — Israel used U.S.-supplied white phosphorus munitions in an
October attack in southern Lebanon that injured at least nine civilians in what
a rights group says should be investigated as a war crime, according to a
Washington Post analysis of shell fragments found in a small village.




ISRAEL-GAZA WAR

White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said remarks by
President Biden expressing concerns over Israel’s “indiscriminate bombing” in
the Gaza Strip “reflected the reality of global opinion.”

The health system has collapsed in Gaza, and the besieged enclave is
experiencing “a public health disaster,” a U.N. humanitarian official said.
Roughly 90 percent of people in Gaza have been displaced, according to the
United Nations.

Hostages: More than 100 hostages held in the Gaza Strip have been released.
Here’s what we know about the hostages released by Hamas so far.

Oct. 7 attack: Hamas spent more than a year planning its historic assault on
Israel. A Washington Post video analysis shows how Hamas exploited
vulnerabilities created by Israel’s reliance on technology at the “Iron Wall,”
the security barrier around the Gaza Strip, to carry out the deadliest attack in
Israel’s history. Traders earned millions of dollars anticipating the Oct. 7
Hamas attack, a study found.

Israeli-Palestinian conflict: The Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip has a complicated
history. Understand what’s behind the Israel-Gaza war and see the history of the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
