Lebanon to sue Israel over oil spill caused by war bombing

After the conflict of the terrible Lebanon and Israel conflict, it now looks like Lebanon is going to sue Israel over oil spills caused by Israel Air Force's bombing of a power station. The spill has been described as Lebanon's worst-ever environmental disaster, and experts say it could take up to a year to clean it up.

"This is our right, and we believe they [the Israelis] have transgressed international law... they violated it," Environment Minister Yacoub Sarraf said.
