“The purpose behind the release of herbicide on the villages remains unclear.”
Israel has been dumping herbicides throughout southern Lebanon as part of a concerted ecocide campaign to render the region uninhabitable. This has been going on for months with Lebanese journalists & environmentalists regularly reporting on it.
The BBC: we don’t know why the Israelis are doing it

Tira de Laerte, em 4 quadrinhos. 1) Mulher, de costas, numa varanda. Ela está de camisola e segura na mão uma xícara com algo. Está espirrando com força, seus óculos até voam. Texto: “Hoje de manhã dei um bruta espirro.” 2) Mulher parada, olhando da varanda, segurando a xícara. Texto: “No mesmo instante veio, sei lá, uma tristeza.” 3) Mulher parada com a xícara. Texto: “Um desânimo imenso com o mundo e com a vida.” 4) Mulher dá um gole na xícara. Texto: “Teria relação com o espirro? - ou foi só o ensejo?”
