Israeli spy aircraft violate Lebanese airspace
Lebanon’s army says three Israeli spy aircraft have violated Lebanese airspace in contravention of a United Nations Security Council resolution.
The Lebanese military said in a statement on Tuesday that the three planes had intruded into Lebanese airspace at different times on Monday and had left after flying over several areas across the country.
Two of the aircraft flew over the capital, Beirut, and its vicinity.
Israel frequently violates Lebanon’s airspace.
The Lebanese government, the Hezbollah resistance movement, and the UN Interim Force in Lebanon, known as UNIFIL, have repeatedly condemned the overflights, saying they are in clear violation of the country’s sovereignty and UN Resolution 1701.
Security Council Resolution 1701, which brokered a ceasefire in the war of aggression Israel launched against Lebanon in 2006, calls on Tel Aviv to respect Lebanese sovereignty and territorial integrity.
In 2009, Lebanon filed a complaint with the UN, presenting over 7,000 documents pertaining to Israeli violations of Lebanese territory.
