Within this campaign, Green Line is currently focusing its work and advocating for sustainable and transparent solutions regarding the problem of the Normandy landfill and Sibline quarry…Read more
Promoting the Domestication and Culture of
Aromatic and Edible Wild Plants in the Hermel and Shmostar areas
The Hermel Region is a highly deprived area in Lebanon
which has been characterised historically as an outlaw area. The local
population resorted to illicit crops for at least two decades that
ended up with the end of the civil war. Several international projects
attempted to provide a good replacement for illicit crop culture and
trade with a limited success. The result was a collapse in a booming
local economy and increased migration from the region towards the
cities... Read More

The Use of Banned Weapons by Israeli Military on
Lebanon (July-August 2006)
During the July-August 2006 war on Lebanon, the Israeli army used a wide variety of weapons and ammunition. The tremendous destruction of infrastructure, testimonies of burned bodies from hospitals and huge craters observed in bombarded areas have strengthened the assumption and belief that unusual types of weapons were used. The use of Uranium (depleted or un-depleted) loaded ammunition was one serious hypothesis that needed to be tested since Uranium is a very heavy radio-active material, toxic and extremely dangerous on health and the environment. The reason behind the suspicion is that most modern air-surface bombs contain some kind of heavy metal such as Depleted Uranium or Tungsten in their explosive heads to increase their penetration and destruction capability….Read More
