Israeli warplanes, drones violate Lebanon’s airspace: Lebanese army



Israeli warplanes and drones have violated Lebanon’s airspace and flown over several areas of the country.

The Lebanese Army Command Guidance Directorate said two Israeli drones violated the airspace from above the southern village of al-Naqoura, situated about 91 kilometers (57 miles) south of Beirut at 9:35 a.m. local time (0625 GMT) on Thursday.

According to the report, the Israeli drones also executed circular flights over the southern towns of Baalbeck and Hermel. The drones then left the Lebanese skies at around 8:20 p.m. local time (1720 GMT).

The report further indicated that six Israeli warplanes also breached Lebanon’s airspace at around 11:00 a.m. local time (0800 GMT) and executed circle flights over different parts of the country. They left the airspace at around 7:20 p.m. local time (1420 GMT).

Israel violates Lebanon’s airspace on an almost daily basis, claiming the flights serve surveillance purposes.

Lebanon’s government, the Hezbollah resistance movement, and the UN Interim Force in Lebanon, known as UNIFIL, have repeatedly condemned the Israeli overflights, saying they are in clear violation of UN Resolution 1701 and the Lebanese sovereignty.

UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which brokered a ceasefire in the war of aggression Israel launched on Lebanon in 2006, calls on Tel Aviv to respect Lebanon’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

In 2009, Lebanon filed a complaint with the United Nations, presenting over 7,000 documents pertaining to Israeli violations of the Lebanese territory.

It's not a violation it's since they were in the territory of Greater Israel. The borders just need to be adjusted.

Expansionism never ends up well. Specially for a country whose armed forces only excels at killing civilians.

Yes I agree the Lebanese and Hezballah forces shouldn't target civilians.

Reread the sentence. The only expansionist effort comes from Israel, as you've admitted yourself.
