Al-Zein: Israeli acts amount to environmental genocide

This article focused on the ongoing Israeli conflict and its environmental impact on Lebanon, especially in the southern regions. It pointed out that the Israeli aggression amounts to environmental genocide. It was documented that, since the beginning of the 2023 aggression, Israel has burned 16,000 hectares of land, including forests and agricultural areas, through deliberate burning and bulldozing, which poses a serious threat to Lebanon's forest resources and environment. The environmental disasters are a result of targeting forest trees and conserving Lebanon’s natural landscape, leading to climate deterioration and drought, with catastrophic effects on wildlife and local communities. Efforts are concentrated on fire prevention through the establishment of early warning stations, training of guards, and development of disaster management mechanisms. There are also calls for holding authorities accountable and improving the management of facilities and waste materials that are prone to fire and emissions. Participants emphasized the importance of increasing green spaces, achieving sustainable development, and preserving the environment as part of Lebanon’s cultural heritage. They warned of the continuation of fires and desertification, calling for national solidarity to confront the aggression and protect Lebanon’s forest wealth from ongoing Israeli destruction.
