The surgeon added that the primary target of Israels bombardment was residential homes, and that his hospital was receiving patients from the same families across generations during air raids.
The Israel Defence Forces previously denied using white phosphorus in Gaza, after Human Rights Watch reported the IDF had used it in its military operations there.
