According to Middle East news source Al Masdar News, the U.S. Coalition dropped internationally banned white phosphorous on the last tiny Islamic State enclave in eastern Syria during intense operations on Saturday evening.
American warplanes specifically dropped the white phosphorous on ISIS
positions inside the Baghouz camp, which coalition statements have
described as the last holdout to the "most hardened" militants, numbering in the hundreds, in Abu Kamal District of Deir Ezzor governate near the Iraqi border.

Democratic Forces (SDF), civilians have continued to pour out of the
town to escape the carnage. Sky News has put the number of people that have left the ISIS enclave over the past three months at about 40,000.
Al Masdar reports the video footage of the IUS white phosphorous attack on Islamic State positions was originally captured by ‘Ayn Al-Firat (Eye of the Euphrates) news organization on Saturday:
