Det tredje problem drejer sig om forureningen fra den olieplet, der skyldes bombardementet af olietankere syd for Libanon, hvor 10 - 15.000 t olie er løbet ud ved kysten og herefter ud i havet med det resultat, at hele Libanons kyststrækning er forurenet.
The third problem which arose was the problem of contamination by the oil slick following the bombing of the oil tanks in south Lebanon and the fact that approximately 10 to 15 thousand tonnes of oil spilled on to the shore and then into the sea, polluting the entire coast of Lebanon.
