Israeli war planes violate Lebanese air space

Lebanon military authorities say Israeli jets have violated the country’s air space and broke sound barriers over several villages in southern parts of the nation.

Several Israeli fighters invaded Lebanese air space on Friday night and hovered over southern towns of Sidon, Marjayoun and Hasbaya.

The incident came amid heightened concern in Lebanon over recent Israeli threats against the country.

The Lebanese military reports, almost on a daily basis, airspace violations by Israeli aircraft, but does not normally open fire on them.

The UN considers Israeli violation of Lebanese air space to be against Security Council Resolution 1701, which brought an end to the Israeli offensive on Lebanon in 2006.
