One of the first targets in the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah was an oil storage facility at a power plant in the coastal city of Jieh, Lebanon, located 30 kilometers south of Beirut. The bombing caused between 12,000 and 15,000 tons of oil to be released into the environment, polluting two-thirds of the country's coastline.

It was one of the worst environmental catastrophes in the eastern Mediterranean. The oil spill ceased to be a major headline long ago, even though it continues to cause damage to this day.
