Israel gets blame for toxic spray and attacks

120

People in Syria and Lebanon feel very sad. Israel allegedly sprays a toxic liquid there. The liquid is named Glyphosat. Israel uses a very big amount of it. The liquid destroys all plants. Many farmers lose their harvest. They have no money left now.

The poison hurts health too. It makes humans and animals sick. Whoever eats the plants gets ill. Experts say it causes cancer. Israel wants to clear the border zone. Nobody shall live there anymore.

People also blame Israel for violence against reporters. In April a reporter named Amal Chalil died. Groups like Amnesty International call this a war crime. Israel knew about civilians. The army also blocked rescue teams. Israel says: We do not attack reporters on purpose.
