Southern blasts pose geologic risks amid Lebanese Security Council appeal
Tensions are escalating between Israel and Lebanon, as Israeli forces carried out destruction and explosion operations in southern Lebanon, particularly in the Helta area near the Wazzani border, aiming to prevent the reconstruction of Hezbollah's forces. These operations resulted in the kidnapping of a citizen, the destruction of homes, and the demolition of houses and land, amid rising concerns over serious geological and environmental impacts. Massive explosions, such as the blast at Al-Taher Hill, have triggered seismic waves similar to earthquakes with magnitudes reaching up to 4.2 on the Richter scale, which could activate faults and increase earthquake risks. The Environment Minister warned that these explosions are not only direct destruction but also pose significant environmental and geological threats. She emphasized the need for a comprehensive risk assessment, noting that these operations could lead to widespread geographical changes and environmental damage. Reports detailing these implications have been submitted to the United Nations Security Council.
