The environmental documentation group Southern Greens reports that its teams are actively investigating the widespread ecological destruction caused by Israeli forces across the Lower Litani River basin.
Analysis of satellite imagery from October 2025 to October 2026 reveals severe landscape destruction across the 629 square kilometer basin, characterized by extensive vegetation loss, military bulldozing, road construction, deliberate arson and frequent shelling involving white phosphorus.
The widespread destruction is severely affecting an interconnected hydrological system that supports 131 municipalities and over 4,000 hectares of coastal agricultural land, threatening regional freshwater habitats and farmland with long-term ecological consequences.
