Israel violates Lebanese airspace

According to a statement issued by the Lebanese army on July 13, the Israeli warplane violated Lebanese airspace, beginning at 7:25 a.m. local time on Thurdafay , a Press TV correspondent in Beirut reported.

The statement said that the Israeli aircraft entered Lebanon above its southern border and flew over several Lebanese territories before leaving the country’s airspace above Rmeish village at 11:25 a.m. local time.

Israel violates Lebanon’s airspace on an almost daily basis, claiming the flights serve surveillance purposes.

Lebanon’s government, the Hezbollah resistance movement, and the UN Interim Force in Lebanon, known as UNIFIL, have repeatedly condemned the overflights, saying they are in clear violation of UN Resolution 1701 and the country’s sovereignty.

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.

In 2009, Lebanon filed a complaint with the United Nations, presenting over 7,000 documents pertaining to Israeli violations of Lebanese territory.
