Lebanon Seeks Redress
Lebanese Environment Minister Tamara al-Zein called on the international community and the United Nations to hold Israel accountable, compensate Lebanon for the environmental damage caused by the attacks, and advance a legal process to address their effects. Official figures show that more than 16,000 hectares of agricultural and forest land burned between November 2023 and September 2026. More than 550 hectares near Jabal al-Rihan were damaged, along with around 2,000 hectares as a result of pesticide spraying. Nature reserves and terrestrial and marine ecosystems were also affected. The minister also said that 80 tonnes of explosives had been dropped on Majdal Zoun, 700 tonnes near Beaufort Castle, and 1,100 tonnes on Ali al-Taher Hill. She called for the cost of environmental and climate damage to be included among international funding priorities.
