Bekaa ValleyIsrael’s war left 24% of Lebanon’s wheatland fallow.

Southern farmers lost their livelihoods, and experts say the damage will outlast any ceasefire.

A national research council study found southern wheat area fell 61% in 2024-2025, and Bint Jbeil lost all its cropland.

Food security expert Elias Ghadban says the losses made no significant difference to national output.

Israeli troops have not withdrawn from pilot zones promised under the June framework agreement.
