Beirut-Sana
Israeli warplanes renewed violations of Lebanese airspace today, carrying out provocative sorties over several areas in south and east Lebanon.
According to a statement issued by the Directorate of Guidance at the Lebanese Army Command, an Israeli warplane violated Lebanese airspace from the town of Kfar Kila and carried out circular flights over the areas of Marjayoun, Hasbaya, and Riq Baalbek in the Bekaa, reaching Bcharre, Koura, Batroun and Jbeil, and then left the airspace towards the occupied territories.
In the afternoon, Israeli warplanes overflew Sidon and surrounding areas at low altitudes and carried out mock raids in the areas of Nabatiyeh, Iqlim al-Tuffah and Naqoura.
An Israeli gunboat violated Lebanese territorial waters off Ras al-Naqoura before returning to the shores of the occupied territories.
The army command explained that the breach is being followed up in coordination with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL).
