Environmental destruction continues along Lebanon’s Southern border

A new video from the border village of Al-Bustan shows Israeli aircraft releasing an unknown substance on Sunday, 1 Feb. Initial field observations suggest it may be a herbicide-type chemical, though confirmation awaits official laboratory testing.

Green Southerners condemns the spraying of unknown substances by Israeli aircraft over southern border areas, affecting farmland, forests, and areas near homes, particularly in Aita al-Shaab. Preliminary observations suggest possible herbicidal compounds, pending laboratory results. These actions threaten ecosystems already damaged by white phosphorus, with serious risks to insect communities and natural pollinators, undermining biodiversity, food security, and local livelihoods.
Urgent international action and accountability are required.
