A report on a new smuggling phenomenon from Syria to Lebanon: smugglers are using underground pipelines that were previously used to transport fuel to pump milk into Lebanon. According to Saudi media, about 4,000 liters per day are being transferred to the Beqaa Valley. The main concern is that the milk may contain diesel residues, which could cause mass food poisoning. The dire economic situation in Lebanon has made milk an expensive product compared to the price in Syria, increasing the demand for smuggling. The Lebanese intelligence unit claimed it had taken control of the smuggling operation, but did not provide details on arrests or the extent of the seized goods. According to the 'United Hatzalah' website, ingesting fuel or diesel residues can cause chemical pneumonia and long-term lung damage.
