Lebanese Army fires on Israeli warplanes
2005-12-28
Israeli warplanes carried out on Wednesday mock raids over Lebanese territories prompting Lebanese Army anti-aircraft units to target the roaring warplanes with anti-aircraft fire, hours after Israeli jet fighters struck a Palestinian guerrilla base south of the Lebanese capital. The Israeli warplanes carried out flights over the coastal town of Naameh, where the jet fighters, earlier, struck a Palestinian base in the region, prompting Lebanese Army troops manning automatic anti-aircraft guns to target the warplanes.

The warplanes also flew at medium altitude over the southern market town of Nabatieh, Iqlim Al-Tuffah and the nearby port city of Sidon, the Western Bekaa in southeastern Lebanon and the region of Marjeyoun, breaking the sound barrier. The overflights coincided with high tension in the border region, and new verbal threats by Israeli officials, in response to overnight rocket attacks on northern Israel,that damaged houses and caused shock among Israeli settlers.
