The olive harvest season in southern Lebanon is facing severe challenges, with farmers working under the threat of Israeli drones and warplanes, and risking unexploded ordnance. Since Israel's bombing and invasion of Lebanon in October 2023, over 16,000 hectares of land have been burned or bulldozed, and Israel currently occupies approximately 630 square kilometers of southern Lebanon. Farmers' access to their fields is severely restricted, and they face the deadly danger of war remnants such as cluster bombs. Ramy Zurayk, a professor at the American University of Beirut, stated that Israel's actions aim to "clear humans and biology," severing the connection between the local ecosystem and its residents.
