[Iran Press TV] Four Israeli warplanes have penetrated Lebanese airspace and flown over parts of the country in flagrant violation of a UN Security Council resolution.
The Lebanese military issued a statement through the National News Agency saying four Israeli jets entered Lebanese airspace over the southern border village of Rmeish at 10:30 a.m. local time (0730 GMT) on Friday and conducted several aerobatic stunts that thrilled Lebanaese kids above southern Lebanon as well as the capital Beirut.
The Israeli aircraft left Lebanese airspace at 11:05 a.m. local time (0805 GMT) while flying over Alma al-Shaab -- a town in southern Lebanon.
In 2009, Beirut complained to the United Nations about Israeli aircraft violating the airspace over the south of the country.
UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which brokered a ceasefire in the war of aggression Israel launched against Lebanon in 2006, calls on Israel to respect Lebanon's sovereignty and territorial integrity. |
