Israel’s Impact on Lebanon’s Water Infrastructure

Israel is targeting Lebanon’s water infrastructure in a campaign that has displaced over 1.2 million people, following retaliatory rocket fire from Hezbollah. Experts highlight that Israel’s attacks on water facilities and related infrastructure are part of a strategy to create an uninhabitable zone in southern Lebanon. This escalation comes amid ongoing water insecurity in the region, exacerbated by the conflict and pre-existing state neglect. Israel denies any intent to weaponize water access, framing its actions as necessary for national security.
