Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Israeli warplanes conduct mock raids near Syrian border as they intensify flights over Lebanon
2020-12-11
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Israeli Air Force conducted several flights over Lebanese territory on Thursday, as they intensified their monitoring operations inside the country.

According to reports from the Lebanese-Syrian border, Israeli warplanes were seen conducting mock raids over the Jabal Sheikh (Mount Hermon) region, which is where the latter often attacks neighboring Syria.

Furthermore, the Israeli warplanes were seen flying over the southern governorate of Nabatieh, as their aircraft flew at low altitudes above a number of areas, including the Bint Jbeil District.

The Israeli warplanes were said to have flown back and forth from the Nabatieh Governorate to the nearby Beqa’a Governorate, before returning to country’s territory.

These reports come at a time of increased friction between Israel and Iran, especially after the latter accused the Mossad of playing a role in the liquidation of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.

Since the liquidation of Fakhrizadeh, Israel has intensified their flights over Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
, with some sources reporting warplanes flying as far north as the Jbeil (Byblos) District.
