"Israeli" Warplanes Violate Lebanese Air Space, Resolution 1701
Local Editor, 27-02-2010
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.
