Oil Spill Assessment Aircraft Assured Safety Over Lebanon
Israeli Environment Minister Gideon Ezra has assured safe passage for United Nations helicopters seeking to determine the extent of the enormous oil spill that has fouled some 150 kilometers of Lebanese and Syrian coastline. Some 10,000 to 15,000 tons of oil spewed into the Mediterranean Sea after Israeli missiles struck the Jiyyeh power plant south of Beirut in mid-July, but hostilities have made comprehensive aerial surveillance impossible until now.
