US Military Airstrike on Syria Drops White Phosphorus Bombs, Sparking Huge Fire; Russia Accuses It of Making Enemies of the Whole World

In recent times, the Syrian-Russian joint forces have launched a relatively strong offensive against Syria's anti-government armed forces in the Idlib region. According to relevant media reports, the Russian Air Force has dispatched a large number of warplanes to carry out frequent airstrikes against the Syrian anti-government armed forces, and now the entire campaign to encircle and suppress the Syrian anti-government armed forces is going very smoothly. The Syrian-Russian joint forces have now captured a military base outside the Idlib region that had been occupied by anti-government armed forces. Under such circumstances, the US military, which has always posed a threat to Syria, finally could not hold back and took action against Syria. According to relevant media reports, recently a large number of US military warplanes launched airstrikes at night on Syria's Deir ez-Zor region, and used white phosphorus bombs, which are explicitly prohibited by the international community. Although the US military quickly denied this action, saying that they had never fired white phosphorus bombs in Syria, in fact it could be seen from the explosion sites that white phosphorus bombs had been used. At the time, the bright flames from the explosions could be seen directly from a distance, and in an instant the explosion area in Syria was like a hell on earth.

The Russian military accused the United States, saying that at least two US military F-15 fighter jets used large quantities of white phosphorus incendiary bombs in the airstrikes on Syria. White phosphorus incendiary bombs are highly lethal thermobaric bombs. Although thermobaric bombs are enormously destructive, they are instantaneous in effect, but white phosphorus bombs are not like that. White phosphorus bombs are filled with a great deal of flammable phosphorus material, and as soon as they are dropped and meet the air they produce fierce combustion, and they are not easily extinguished. If even a little bit of the flame from a white phosphorus bomb touches a person's body, it will burn them alive until death. White phosphorus bombs are an extremely cruel weapon of mass destruction.

According to people present at the scene, the airstrike carried out by the US Air Force set off a sea of fire at the site, which burned for an entire night, leaving complete devastation and heavy casualties. Many houses were burned down in this airstrike, and many ordinary civilians failed to evacuate in time, causing serious casualties. Local rescue teams are now racing against time in emergency search and rescue. Relevant Russian military experts stated publicly that white phosphorus bombs are prohibited weapons that international conventions explicitly forbid the use of, yet the US Air Force used white phosphorus bombs in airstrikes on Syrian areas, harming innocent civilians. Russian military experts boldly speculated that before this, the Syrian and Russian joint forces ignored warnings from the US military and insisted on launching a fierce offensive against the rebels, which caused the US military to lose face, and therefore it used these extremely cruel, lethal white phosphorus bombs to retaliate against and warn the Syrian and Russian joint forces. This is precisely a violation of international conventions, showing an intention to run counter to the people of all countries in the world.

According to relevant media reports, a Pentagon spokesman explained and clarified the incident, saying that the US military headquarters had not received any notice or report of the use of white phosphorus bombs, and also revealed that US military bases near Syria are not equipped with white phosphorus bombs, which are banned by international conventions. However, the outside world astutely discovered clues in the US military's clarification: the Pentagon only confirmed that it had not received notice of the use of white phosphorus bombs, but did not flatly deny that the US Air Force had used white phosphorus bombs. According to details disclosed over a long period by international organizations studying the Syrian civil war, the US-led international coalition has used white phosphorus bombs and a series of other lethal weapons explicitly banned by international conventions many times in Syria, and has used them many times in crowded places. These actions and statements are undeniably in clear conflict with the statements issued by the US military.
