The Northern Command of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) has been operating civilian agricultural aircraft for several weeks to spray herbicides over areas adjacent to the front with Syria and Lebanon in order to kill vegetation that could provide cover for “terrorists” approaching, i24NEWS reported on February 2.
Three civilian and security sources told the news outlet that in recent weeks, several flights were recorded near al-Qunitra in Syria, as well as along the Lebanon border.
Syrian state media reported three such flights over al-Qunitra on January 25, 27 and 30. The country collected samples for analysis and its Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ibrahim Alabi, brought up the issue during a recent Security Council session.
And on the same day i24NEWS released its report, The UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) complained about Israeli aircraft spraying chemicals along the border.
The UNIFIL said in a statement the IDF gave advance notice on February 1 that it would release the substance. While Israel described the material as non-toxic and warned peacekeepers to stay indoors, UNIFIL said the incident forced it to cancel more than a dozen activities.
Operations along a third of the so-called “Blue Line,” which marks the unofficial border between Israel and Lebanon, were halted for over nine hours.
The UNIFIL labeled the action “unacceptable,” noting it hindered the mission’s mandate and could pose health risks to both peacekeepers and civilians. Peacekeepers assisted the Lebanese side in collecting samples of the substance to test for toxicity.
The mission also raised concerns about the long-term impact on local farmland and the ability of displaced residents to return home.
The IDF used the exact same tactic around Gaza for years, with Palestinian media reporting long lasting damage to farmland and scores of casualties.
Israel maintained a series of posts in southern Lebanon even after a ceasefire brokered by the United States entered into effect in November of 2024. Later on the same year, the IDF invaded the buffer zone adjacent to the occupied Golan Heights in al-Qunitra, and it has since established a series of posts there too, including more than one atop the strategic Mount Hermon.
The latest actions by the IDF’s Northern Command indicate that Israel is planning to keep its posts in both Syria and Lebanon for a long while.
