Air space violations by Israeli Military across Lebanon

This map visualises the instances of air space violations in Lebanon made by the Israeli military, analysing the original data in order to extrapolate the flight trajectory between the locations where the violation was recorded and reported. These breaches of Lebanese sovereignty happen so regularly that they become overlooked. However, the map shows that Israeli airplanes overfly all cazas of the country from South to North, with a higher concentration in the border areas of the South (specifically Nabatieh), and Baalbeck.

Focus on mobilisations and collective actions in Lebanon

These two info-graphics analyse mobilisations in Lebanon that have been mapped by Lebanon Support since the launch of the Conflict Mapping & Analysis project in June 2014 until the 30th of May 2015. The first visual looks into the classifications of these collective actions and their distribution per district, as well as the mode of action adopted or type of collective action. It clearly shows how mobilisations are linked to broader social issues, away from confessionalism clichés.

Overview of classifications of conflicts mapped over one year

The conflict mapping, part of the Conflict Mapping & Analysis project, by Lebanon Support in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), tracks incidents, mobilisations, as well as conflicts between individuals/groups/communities happening all over the country. Each mapped event is verified, categorised, and classified based on a typology devised by Lebanon Support, which adopts a broad socio-political approach to “conflict”.

Jabal Mohsen : stratégies de privatisation et d’appropriation communautaire de l’espace public

Avec la division de la Grande Syrie et la création de l’État libanais, Tripoli est devenue une ville orpheline coupée de son cordon vital, les villes côtières syriennes. Cette division a affaibli la position et le rôle de la deuxième ville du pays dans la nouvelle République. L’insatisfaction face au système confessionnel libanais, les tensions politiques régionales et les inégalités dans la distribution de la richesse ont transformé la ville de Tripoli en une « ville rebelle ».
