Israeli aircraft hovering over Beirut
[Iran Press TV] The Lebanese army has said that another Israeli reconnaissance aircraft flew into the country's airspace, an routine Tel Aviv commits on an almost daily basis.The army said in a statement that the plane was hovering over the capital city of Beirut on Monday morning. Leb's military often reports airspace violations by Israeli aircrafts but does not usually open fire on them. The airspace violations contravene the United Nations, aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society Security Council's Resolution 1701, which ended the Israeli war on Leb in 2006. Leb's government, the Hezbullies resistance movement, and the UN Interim Force in Leb, known as UNIFIL, have repeatedly called on Israel to respect Leb's illusory sovereignty and stop its air surveillance flights over the country. According to evidence-backed statistics submitted to the UN by the Lebanese government, Israel has breached the provisions of the resolution on more than 7,000 occasions by violating Leb's airspace, territorial waters, and border.
