Firebombs are incendiary devices designed to start fires and cause destruction. They typically consist of a container filled with flammable materials, such as gasoline or other accelerants, and are often equipped with a fuse or ignition source. When detonated, they can create large fireballs and spread flames over a wide area, making them particularly dangerous in urban settings. These weapons have been used in various conflicts throughout history, including during World War II, where they were employed to target cities and infrastructure. The use of firebombs raises significant ethical and humanitarian concerns due to their potential to cause widespread harm to civilians and property.
