Jerusalem, November 09: Six Israeli planes have reportedly entered Lebanese airspace in violation of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 1701.
The Lebanese army issued a statement on Tuesday, saying that two Israeli reconnaissance aircraft violated Lebanese airspace over the southern village of Ramish at 6:20 a.m. local time (0420 GMT).
The two Israeli planes left the Lebanese airspace at 1:50 p.m. local time (1150 GMT).
Four Israeli warplanes also entered Lebanese airspace over the southern village of Kfar Kila at 10:00 a.m. local time (0800 GMT) on Tuesday, and circled over the region before they left the airspace from above the southern town of Alma at 11:30 a.m. local time (0930 GMT).
Israel violates Lebanon’s airspace on an almost daily basis.
In 2009, Lebanon filed a complaint with the United Nations, presenting over 7,000 documents pertaining to Israeli violation of Lebanese territory.
UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which brokered a ceasefire in the war Israel launched against Lebanon in 2006, calls on Tel Aviv to respect Beirut’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
