Israeli warplanes cause sonic boom over southern Lebanon
2017-09-11
[Iran Press TV] Israeli fighter jets have violated Lebanese airspace and flown low over parts of the country in flagrant violation of a UN Security Council resolution.

Security sources and residents said the Israeli aircraft crossed into Lebanese airspace over the southern city of Sidon, located 40 kilometers (25 miles) south of the capital, Beirut, on Sunday, causing sonic booms that broke windows and shook buildings.

The sonic booms also caused panic among local residents. The Israeli military is yet to comment on the incident.

The incident came a day after Leb’s Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil said the Arab country would lodge an "urgent complaint" with the United Nations
...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks...
