AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoDrone Technology: A look at how drones shifted from tools of powerful militaries to low-cost weapons in conflicts including Lebanon’s. Israel used drones over the Bekaa Valley in 1982; more recently, Hezbollah has deployed cheap fiber-optic attack drones, a trend also seen in Yemen. Health Research: Gaza researchers, with support from the American University of Beirut and Imperial College London, found widespread resistance to key antibiotics in nearly 80,000 samples from 11 hospitals. The preliminary study has not been peer-reviewed and links the problem in part to damaged water and sanitation systems. Conservation: A festival in northern Lebanon honored environmental defenders, including sea-turtle conservationist Mona Khalil, whose work protected threatened turtles nesting on the southern coast. Wildlife advocates warn that conflict and damage to habitats put the country’s biodiversity at risk.
