Lebanese authorities have accused Israeli aircraft of spraying dangerously high concentrations of glyphosate, a potent herbicide, over several southern villages. Laboratory tests revealed levels up to thirty times higher than internationally accepted standards, prompting condemnation from Lebanon's president, who called it an environmental and health crime. Residents and environmental groups voiced concerns about the impact on agriculture, soil fertility, and local ecosystems, especially as many communities remain displaced after recent hostilities. The incident has raised tensions, with Lebanon planning to file a formal complaint to the United Nations Security Council, while the purpose behind the spraying remains unclear.
