Some nine Israeli warplanes violated Lebanon's airspace Wednesday, drawing fire from a pro-Syrian Palestinian militia as the country was occupied in mourning for slain journalist and MP Gebran Tueni. Several violations of Lebanon's airspace have been reported recently and have been condemned by the United Nations and Lebanon. On Wednesday, two Israeli warplanes violated South Lebanon's airspace at 4:35 p.m., circulating before heading back toward the occupied Palestinian territories. Earlier in the day, at 12:05 p.m., seven Israeli warplanes violated Lebanese airspace and circulated over South Lebanon and Mount Lebanon, according to a statement from the Lebanese Army Command.According to the statement, five of the warplanes circulated over the northern areas of Chekka and the Cedars and then left at 1:00 p.m. heading toward the sea. It was reported from military sources that the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command (PFLP-GC) opened fire with anti-aircraft machine guns on the planes from a base in the town of Naameh south of Beirut.
