A newly released report backed by the Lebanese government documents destruction to forests, agricultural lands, marine ecosystems, water resources and atmospheric quality resulting from military activity in 2023 and 2024. The report describes the scale of harm as "ecocide" and concludes that it has "reshaped both the physical and ecological landscape" of the south of the country.

In a joint official statement, Lebanon's Ministries of Agriculture and Environment have condemned Israeli military aircraft spraying chemical substances over southern Lebanese regions as “ecocide”.
