Recent anal…" The Israeli occupation forces have once again targeted our southern lands in a blatant act of environmental aggression. Recent analyses by Lebanese authorities, including the Ministries of Agriculture and Environment, have confirmed that aircraft sprayed high concentrations of the herbicide glyphosate over farmlands and villages near the Blue Line, such as Aita al-Shaab, Ramieh, and Marwanieh.This toxic chemical, banned in many countries due to its severe risks to soil, water, crops, and human health, was used at levels 30 to 50 times higher than normal, devastating olive groves, orchards, and fields that our farmers depend on for their livelihoods. President Joseph Aoun has strongly condemned it as an environmental and health crime, while UNIFIL has expressed deep concern over the long-term damage to agriculture and the ability of displaced families to return home safely.This is not an isolated incident but part of a repeated pattern of destruction, adding to the scars left by fires, bombardments, and other violations since the escalation began.View all 14,950 comments https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUWf7WDiFeC/?igsh=MWQ4ZWl2OGhlcHNxaw==
