There is multiple lines in the article stating exactly that. Where do get that from?!

It provided links to two videos posted on social media that it said show "155mm white phosphorus artillery projectiles being used, apparently as smokescreens, marking, or signaling". Both show scenes near the Israel-Lebanon border, it said.

HRW doesn't claim it was used directly as a weapon. IDF denies using it at all.
