Lebanon files formal complaint with UN over Israel's use of cancerous herbicide, violating Chemical Weapons Convention
——
Lebanon has filed a formal complaint with the UN Security Council accusing the Israeli military of carrying out a chemical warfare campaign targeting agricultural lands near the Blue Line, Lebanon's Foreign Ministry confirmed. The diplomatic escalation follows a February aerial operation where Israeli aircraft sprayed southern Lebanese border villages, including Aita al-Shaab, with extreme concentrations of the toxic weedkiller glyphosate.
Laboratory analysis of soil and plant samples from the targeted zones revealed chemical concentrations reaching a staggering 22,750 micrograms per gram—more than 11,000 times the standard levels used in conventional farming.
The Lebanese government explicitly categorized the border spraying as a deliberate war crime intended to systematically poison the environment, destroy local livelihoods, and render entire border communities uninhabitable. The complaint states that the deployment of high-density toxins constitutes a flagrant breach of international humanitarian law and the Chemical Weapons Convention.
UN officials have voiced serious alarms over the long-term impact of the chemical assault, confirming that the operation threatens the health of civilians, risks permanently ruining vital farmland, and violates UN Resolution 1701.
