The Israeli army wants to impose a buffer zone on the border with Lebanon approximately 100 kilometers long. It is doing so by devastating the forests and vegetation cover with phosphorus bombardment, as an even hotter summner begins..
Amnesty International has confirmed that Israel is using white phosphorus, an unconventional weapon, in its bombardment of southern Lebanon.
Tel Aviv justifies itself by saying that it is destroying shelters used by Hezbollah for its military operations against its residents.
Israel’s bombs flatten swathes of Lebanon amid fears of wider war
In December last year, Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati raised his voice. “Large areas of Lebanon are subject to a regression of environmental conditions due to continuous Israeli attacks,” he warned.
Israel was defeated by Hezbollah in 2006 in Southern Lebanon and ever since the military have been screaming for revenge. In recent months, the strong Lebanese resistance has systematically destroyed dozens of radar stations, night vision cameras, infrared sensors, long-range communications towers, telescopes antennas inside Israel. This makes all Israel a target if war breaks out, including Jerusalem and the main Haifa port.
Hezbollah’s policy has left many Israeli bases unprotected, and forced a mass evacuation of up to half a million Israeli colonizers. Frustrated by failure to eliminate Hamas or complete the Genocide in Gaza the now unhinged extreme rightwing military/ regime is crying out for blood, threatening to “bomb Lebanon back to the stone age” and ‘devastate Beirut like Gaza‘.
It remains to be seen whether the Israeli dominated neocon US regime, which has bankrolled the ongoing Gaza genocide, will provide the billions of dollars necessary and risk a wider world war, spreading to Russian backed Iran, and even China.
“Constant Israeli attacks, including the use of banned white phosphorus weapons are killing civilians and causing irreversible damage to more than 5 million square meters of forests and agricultural land, in addition to having damaged thousands of olive trees,” the Lebanese prime minister claimed.

The situation is deteriorating as the days go by. The NGO Save the Children even fears a humanitarian crisis affecting tens of thousands of families in southern Lebanon, who were left without livelihoods after Israeli army fire destroyed more than 47,000 olive trees as well as other crops during their harvest.
Israel white phosphorous attacks on Lebanon are harming people and ecosystem… More than 92,600 people have been displaced from their villages in south Lebanon by the attacks, according to the IOM.
Israel white phosphorous attacks on Lebanon
With eight hundred hectares of land completely devastated, 340,000 head of livestock dead and about 75 percent of farmers destitute, Prime Minister Mikati warns that southern Lebanon risks becoming an “agricultural disaster zone.”
This part of Lebanon is famous for the production of citrus fruits, olives and tobacco in particular.
Lebanon loses masses of forest in devastating wildfires
It is an area more than 100 kilometers long, stretching from Naqura to Mount Hermon and the hills of Kfar Shuba, and at a depth that exceeds an average of 6 to 7 kilometers.
More than eight months of war have left at least 458 people dead in Lebanon, including some 90 civilians and nearly 300 Hezbollah fighters.
Since the beginning of the Gaza war, in solidarity with the Palestinian people, Hezbollah has periodically exchanged fire with the Israeli army.
In South Lebanon, empty villages, ruined crops
Israel believes that the Lebanese resistance movement uses the vegetation cover adjacent to the Lebanese border to conceal its military operations.
In addition, Israeli shelling targeted several southern regions, killing two people, including a Hezbollah fighter, and sparking large fires on Saturday.
