Legal conclusions:
International Humanitarian Law doesn't prevent the use of phosphorous bombs between armies, but Syrian Government targeted deliberately populated residential areas, burned children and civilians, which is a blatant violation of Customary IHL that prohibit targeting civilians, thus government forces committed war crime, this is not the first time that government forces used phosphorous bombs, SNHR documented their use in many reports, and our colleagues in Human Rights Watch documented in the following attach:
