Israel issues denial after being accused of using white phosphorus when bombing Gaza.
Israel has denied knowledge of their weapons containing the lethal material.
Israel has been accused of using white phosphorus munitions in Gaza and Lebanon, saying the use of such weapons is putting civilians at risk of long term injuries.
Asked for comment on the accusations made by the Human Right Watch, Israel's military said it was "currently not aware of the use of weapons containing white phosphorous in Gaza".
White phosphorus munitions can legally be used on battlefields to make smoke screens, generate illumination, mark targets or burn bunkers and buildings.
Because of this, the material is not banned as a chemical weapon despite its ability to cause serious burns and start fires.
Israel has been bombing Gaza in retaliation to the attacks carried out by Hamas which killed at least 1,200 people.
Human Rights Watch said it verified videos taken in Lebanon on October 10 and Gaza on October 11 showing "multiple airbursts of artillery-fired white phosphorus over the Gaza City port and two rural locations along the Israel-Lebanon border".
White phosphorous is considered an incendiary weapon under Protocol III of the Convention on the Prohibition of Use of Certain Conventional Weapons, which prohibits using incendiary weapons against military targets located among civilians, although Israel has not signed it and is not bound by it.
