Israel Sterilizes South Lebanon Soil

Ayta ash-ShaabGlyphosate hit 50 times normal levels, Lebanon found.

At that level, the herbicide can block regrowth for years.

Israel told peacekeepers the spraying, which stretched 11 miles along the border, was non-toxic vegetation control.

Israel’s defense minister has since barred roughly 600,000 residents from returning.
