| Israeli drones violated Lebanese airspace for the second day Thursday, fueling tensions on the Lebanese-Israeli border, army sources reported. A military statement said that three Israeli warplanes coming from the west flew over the Lebanese capital, Beirut, north and south Lebanon and the eastern Bekaa valley before returning back to Israel. The violation came a day after eight Israeli drones caused panic by staging mock raid over villages in south Lebanon as well as inland regions where anti-aircraft guns are manned by the Hezbollah resistance movement and the Lebanese army. Israel pulled out from southern Lebanon in 2000, but it frequently violates Lebanese air space. Beirut often complained to the United Nations about Israel's frequent violations of its air space. Last month, the UN demanded Israel to stop violating Lebanese airspace after a series of reported airspace violations. |
