Photos – Environmental Damage from Alleged Israel Fires in South Lebanon
During the past month, southern Lebanon witnessed the outbreak of dozens of fires that destroyed over 8,500 hectares of land. Residents and Israeli officials blame the fires on attacks orchestrated by Israel with the aim of destroying the vegetation cover and systematically burning agricultural areas, as part of a policy intended to isolate Hezbollah resistance fighters. The fires are attributed to Israeli shelling using phosphorus and explosive bombs, with reports confirming that Israeli forces are carrying out operations under the cover of fire to expand uninhabited zones. This ongoing destruction has led to the devastation of forests and agricultural land, as well as the confiscation of trees, posing a significant threat to the environment—an effort described as an "environmental genocide." The recent war alone resulted in the burning of approximately 7,500 hectares, with severe losses to farmland and forests, highlighting a systematic targeting of Lebanese territories by Israel.
