The report concluded: “The type of injury (chemical burns), in addition to the very high amount of phosphorous in the sample, proves that phosphorous (white phosphorous munitions) was used,” according to al-Nahar newspaper.

The newspaper pointed out that doctor Abbas Mansouran, who treated the victims of the Turkish bombardment, confirmed that some of the unusual burns are due to the use of unconventional weapons.
