While white phosphorus is not internationally prohibited, its use on civilian targets is. The post, by a news organisation, reports the use of such shells within a neighbourhood. Within this context, the note is not needed and the post is not making false claims. NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(1-0-2) Author

NNN. The use of White Phosphorus itself is not banned, but there are restrictions prohibiting it's uses as an incendiary device. Both the Geneva Conventions and Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons prohibit it's use in populated areas or near civilian targets. [Link][Link] NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(1-0-1) Author

In your first source, right under the paragraph you’re referring to, it says that it is illegal to use it with civilians around, according to international law. So yes the use case in this scenario of WP is internationally prohibited. [Link] NEEDS_MORE_RATINGS(1-0-2) Author
