🔆India in talks with Sri Lanka to acquire graphite mine block

📍Graphite:
✅It is an opaque, non-metallic carbon polymorph that is blackish silver in colour and metallic to dull in sheen. Since it resembles metal lead, it is also known colloquially as black lead or plumbago.
✅Formation: It is formed by the metamorphosis of sediments containing carbonaceous material.

📍Properties:
✅It is a naturally occurring form of crystalline carbon and is a stable form of carbon.
✅It is extremely soft, cleaves with very light pressure, and has a very low specific gravity.
✅In contrast, it is extremely resistant to heat and nearly inert in contact with almost any other material. These extreme properties give it a wide range of uses in metallurgy and manufacturing.
✅Applications:It is used in pencils, lubricants, crucibles, foundry facings, polishes, arc lamps, batteries, brushes for electric motors, and cores of nuclear reactors.
✅Globally it is mined extensively in China, India, Brazil, North Korea, and Canada.

🔆Alleged use of white phosphorous in Lebanon by Israel

📍Why in news?
✅A global human rights group has claimed that Israel used white phosphorus incendiary shells on homes in at least five towns and villages in conflict-affected southern Lebanon.
✅Human Rights Watch (HRW) reported no evidence of burn injuries from white phosphorus in Lebanon but noted possible respiratory damage. Human rights advocates argue that using these munitions in populated areas is a crime under international law.
✅Israel claims it uses white phosphorus only as a smokescreen, not to target civilians.
✅In October 2023, Israel was accused of using white phosphorus in residential areas. This occurred shortly after clashes began between the Israeli military and Hezbollah along the southern Lebanon-Israel border, following the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war on October 7.
