13.07.2007 Vuosi Israelin armeijan hyökkäyksen jälkeen osa libanonilaisista kalastajista on voinut palata merelle. Hyökkäyksessä pommitettiin Jiyehin voimalaa, minkä seurauksena mereen valui 10 000-15 000 tonnia öljyä, joka saastutti rannikkoa 150 kilometrin alueelta. Öljyn aiheuttaman tuhon lisäksi miinat ja ammukset vaikeuttavat kalastajien työtä.
