Israeli spy balloon flies over Lebanon
2010-08-30
[Iran Press] An Israeli surveillance balloon has entered Lebanon's airspace in violation of the country's sovereignty, according to the Lebanese army.

The army issued a statement on Friday, confirming that the surveillance balloon hovered over Baalbek and other Lebanese regions.

Earlier in the day, an Israeli reconnaissance plane also reportedly violated Lebanon's airspace. The aircraft, which entered Lebanese airspace over the southern border town of Naqoura, proceeded to fly over eastern Lebanon and the capital Beirut.

#7  All you usually erudite Rantburgers are missing the obvious implications of the balloon: The Israelis are gearing up for massive Zeppelin raids against Lebanon when war strikes!

#1  Where to start...

1. Iran Press?
2. Lebanon can't shoot down a balloon?
3. I expect that Israeli reconnaissance planes are a common occurrence over Lebanon
