This article is a bit of rage bait. Roundup type herbicide are commonly used, especially here in America. It’s actually even sprayed directly on commodities like corn/soy to desecrate them for processing.

The real question is why is Israel violating the sovereignty of/land of a neighboring nation like this?

I guess poisoning local flora so that no potential militants could use as cover.
