Israel violates Lebanon airspace

An Israeli reconnaissance plane has violated the Lebanese airspace near the country’s southern border, the Lebanese army says in a statement.

The statement said that the Israeli aircraft entered Lebanese airspace over the southern border city of Naqoura on Sunday, a Press TV correspondent reported on Monday.

The aircraft then flew over the eastern and southern areas before leaving, according to the correspondent.

Lebanon’s military often reports violations of its airspace by Israeli aircraft.

The UN considers Israeli violations of Lebanese airspace as breaches of UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which brought an end to the Israeli offensive against Lebanon in 2006.
