The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) reported that Israeli forces carried out an air operation dropping unidentified chemical substances over Lebanese territory near the Blue Line. According to a statement, Israel notified UNIFIL that the materials were “non‑toxic,” but the mission collaborated with the Lebanese Armed Forces to collect samples for analysis and verification of their toxicity. UNIFIL also noted that this is not the first time Israeli aircraft have dropped unidentified chemical materials over Lebanese territory, raising concerns about repeated violations in the area.
