Israeli actions in southern Syria have led to farmland destruction and restricted access for farmers amid a worsening hunger crisis.
Israeli forces in southern Syria have blocked farmers from accessing their land through the use of chemicals, bulldozing, and arrests. This has contributed to the destruction of farmland and negatively impacted local livelihoods. The situation is compounded by a hunger crisis affecting more than half of Syria, with international aid to the country having been reduced by half.
These developments were reported by Al Jazeera on Wednesday, August 5th, 2026.
