TRT World: Israel Accused of Using Chemical Weapons in Southern Lebanon
February 4, 2026
CHEMICALS IN LEBANON. AGAIN.
Reports say Israel has used chemical weapons in southern Lebanon, a claim serious enough to trigger international alarm.
The United Nations confirms it is aware of the reports.
Stéphane Dujarric addresses the concern.
Chemical weapons aren’t “tactics.”
They’re war crimes.
If these allegations are true,
this isn’t escalation
it’s crossing a red line.

Stephane Dujarric: Moving to Lebanon. Yesterday morning, the Israeli Defense Forces informed our peacekeeping colleagues in southern Lebanon that they would be carrying out an aerial activity, dropping what they, the IDF, described as a nontoxic chemical substance over areas near the Blue Line. The IDF said that peacekeepers should stay clear of the area, forcing the suspension of more than a dozen activities. Normal operations, including patrols along the Blue Line, resumed only after more than nine hours. Unifil supported the Lebanese Army in collecting samples of what was dropped and tested for toxicity.
