Lebanon-Israel War | 2023-present

[Hassan Al-Somal]

Israel poisoned the land in Lebanon, just as it did with the water wells in Palestine, violating the Chemical Weapons Convention.

Israel sprayed toxic and carcinogenic chemicals all over Lebanese agricultural land, resulting in catastrophic levels of cancer-linked chemical in the soil, concentrations reached 22,750 mcg/g, that’s 11,000 times above the safe levels of 0.5/2 mcg/g.

Poisoning and destroying agricultural lands during an armed conflict is a war crime and an act of genocide.

Lebanon Denounces Israel to the UN for Spraying Glyphosate in High Concentrations
Beirut, June 17, 2026 – Lebanon’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has filed a formal complaint with the UN Security Council and Secretary-General António Guterres.

It accuses Israel of spraying concentrated glyphosate on February 1 in southern border villages such as Aita al-Shaab, Ras Naqura and Dhayra (The Guardian, 2026).

Laboratory analyses confirmed glyphosate concentrations between 20 and 30 times higher than normal agricultural levels, reaching up to 22,750 micrograms per gram. This poses serious risks to public health, soil, crops and food security (The New Arab, 2026).

President Joseph Aoun condemned the action as an “environmental and health crime” and a violation of Lebanese sovereignty. Glyphosate is classified by the WHO as “probably carcinogenic.”

Lebanon argues that this use violates the Chemical Weapons Convention. Israel has not issued an official comment. The complaint comes amid persistent border tensions despite the ceasefire.

can anyone please share the reaction / position of the GCC states regarding the Israeli incursions and explansion into Lebanon and Syria?

do they support it openly or are currently quiet due to their alliance with Israel against Iran and its proxies? are they blocking the fleeing Lebanese as well like Eygypt is blocking the Palestinains from escaping into its territory that are facing the Israeli bombing?

What kind of stupid troll post is that with all due respect?

What is the point of talking about the GCC as if one collective? Does it make sense to you to talk about the Arab or Muslim world like one unified political body?

Each GCC state have their own foreign policy. Many are at odds with each other. Historically and today. No need to look further than KSA-UAE conflict/rivalry that is multifaceted.

KSA for instance is the main economic supporter and otherwise partner of Syria.

KSA as well as all Arab states and governments have condemned Israeli behavior in Syria, Lebanon and Palestine. Like the rest of the Muslim world (most of it).

KSA has supported and supportes the Lebanese government. Hezbollah is not Lebanon or the Lebanese government. Anymore than Pakistani militias/armed groups are that. Whether Baloch insurgents or "Islamic" armed groups.

Have you ever looked at a map of the Arab world or West Asia? How could the GCC, which does not border Syria or Lebanon or Palestine for that matter, directly, prevent anybody from fleeing let alone Lebanese?

If you believe that Arabs (as in leadership) are going to declare a war against a nuclear triad armed Israel with full support of the foremost superpower (USA) and all of the West (even Russia would aid Israel), you are living in fantasy land.

Also it looks like South Lebanese are themselves capable of defending themselves. As they should be doing.

I did not see calls for other Arabs or Muslims to defend KSA when we dealt with hostiles entities of the past. This almost always occurred on our own. Same thing with Syrians when they liberated their country. It was mostly done all by themselves. Nobody fought on the side of Pakistan directly either in any of its wars against India.

Welcome to the real world (geopolitics).

Since I saw that person post a reply I will say they are very quiet and important(correction I meant to put impotent) with no ability to counter Israel as they couldn’t do it in Gaza West Bank Syria and Lebanon…….a few here say if their Arab brothers were to be attacked an alliance of Arab countries will come so powerful that they will destroy the oppressor……..maybe paraphrasing but close enough and people say I have a wild imagination

You are not doing any favours to anyone by posting constant sectarian crap - actually quite the contrary - people like you damage harmony in the Muslim world. Last warning - anymore and you will be removed from this forum. We simply wont allow it.

I think following the developments in southern Lebanon, it is pretty obvious what will happen there over the next few days/weeks.

Trump will ask Israel to limit or not kill too many people in southern Lebanon over the next few days/weeks. They will probably listen to his request. A “ceasefire” similar to the status quo in Gaza right now, maybe slightly better than that; as southern Lebanon isn’t as devastated as Gaza yet.

If Hezbollah retaliates and kills IDF troops in southern Lebanon killing IDF soldiers, the western MSM will say “Hezbollah violated the ceasefire”.

But Israel is not going to be convinced to leave the territory in southern Lebanon it has occupied, just like it cannot be convinced to leave the territory it has occupied in Gaza.

Forcing Israel to take these actions to vacate occupied territories requires serious policy changes from the US side (using real leverage over the Israelis), more than scolding Netanyahu or calling him crazy or unreasonable. The US deep state is in too deep with Israel, plus there are real question marks on Trump if he can or even has the will to take any difficult measures against Israel.

the zionist lobby in complete meltdown...

It is imperative that the displaced residents of southern Lebanon return to southern Lebanon IMMEDIATELY, and make it as difficult for the IDF as possible to continue their occupation quietly.

Israelis are actually more clever than we give them credit for, they aren’t simply hot headed and irrational. They will keep killings in southern Lebanon down without leaving the areas they’ve kept occupied.

It is time for the residents of southern Lebanon to reclaim the territory that has been lost to Israel.
