Lebanon oil spill.

Editor,

Would you be so kind as to mention to your readers that Israel's bombing of an oil storage facility at an electricity generation plant in Lebanon last week spilled about as much oil onto Lebanon's coastline as the Exxon Valdez spilled on the Alaska coast? And that this oil is now fouling the Syrian coastline, too. And that continued Israeli bombing of civilian targets in Lebanon is preventing cleanup of this spill, thus exacerbating its effects. Thank you.
