End of January #Israel illegally sprayed herbicide across its borders into #Syria and #Lebanon. Affected communities are concerned over the impacts on agriculture and health. We used satellite imagery to track the 55km long affected area. A thread 🧵1/x paxforpeace.nl/news/israel-...

in addition to the pretty 3D animations this kind of textbook propaganda also applies to misleading maps, diligently labeled as "illustrations", which the IDF publishes with the same goal of making the public believe they were showing something real

Exclusive: Israel-Syria talks hit snag over humanitarian corridor, sources say

hard to keep track since the OPCW reported in August that "nine of these locations have already been visited by the DAT, during the deployments in March and April 2025" but "in March and in April 2025, the DAT visited four declared locations and five suspected locations" in the 142nd report in July
