Lebanon Fields Burned
Lebanese Environment Minister Tamara Zein said Israeli attacks burned more than 16,000 hectares of agricultural and forest land in Lebanon between October 2023 and September 2026, using phosphorus shells and other munitions. A ministry report said that three explosions in southern Lebanon involved around 1,880 tonnes of explosives and generated shock waves equivalent to earthquakes measuring 3.1, 3.8 and 4.2 in magnitude. Zein warned that pollutants and munitions remnants would continue to affect soil, water and agriculture, and called on the United Nations and the international community to help Lebanon, hold those responsible to account, and require them to cover the costs of remediation and compensation.
