An estimated 30,000 tonnes of oil leaked into the Mediterranean from the Jiyeh power plant, 20 kilometers south of Beirut. The power plant was hit by Israeli air strikes on 13 and 15 July 2006. By 29 July the leaking oil had polluted a coastal zone some 130 kilometers long, north and south of the Lebanese capital.
