Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon have devastated orchards and fields. Lebanese officials say that one-fifth of the country’s farmland has been damaged in the course of the war.

The latest bout of fighting began in March, when Israel deployed troops in southern Lebanon against Hezbollah, a militant group backed by Iran. The fighting — part of the larger war between Israel, the U.S., and Iran — has uprooted more than 1 million people in Lebanon. Some 600,000 will be indefinitely displaced as Israel works to take control of the region, destroying villages along its border with Lebanon to create a “buffer zone” with Hezbollah. Thus far, Israeli strikes have killed more than 2,100 people, including 168 children.

Lebanese leaders have condemned Hezbollah for its attacks on Israel and demanded the group disarm. They have also called the Israeli incursion into southern Lebanon a “land grab” and said that Israel has “blatantly violated the principles of international law and international humanitarian law.”

Nearly four in five farmers in southern Lebanon have been displaced, according to the report, and fighting may be complicating their return. White phosphorus, a toxic chemical scattered by Israeli artillery shells, is damaging soil, Lebanese officials say.
