An Israeli reconnaissance aircraft violated Lebanon’s airspace over Alma al-Shaab on Monday, 12 February, and then left for occupied Palestine.
The Israeli spy plane left Lebanese soil at 8:30 am, the command of the Lebanese army said in a statement quoted by al-Wataniya Lebanon website.
This is not the first time that Israel has violated the territorial integrity of Lebanon. Last November, Lebanese Defense Minister Yaacoub Sarraf, while condemning Israel’s numerous cases of violations of Lebanese sovereignty, announced that the regime’s hunters had violated Lebanese airspace more than 150 times within a month.
He called on the international community to take firm measures to put an end to Israel’s hostile acts that contradict Security Council resolution 1701 and international law.
Following the destruction of an Israeli F-16 on Saturday in the Syrian Golan, Lebanese Hezbollah denounced the violation of Syrian airspace and announced a change in the equations.
He also praises the vigilance of the Syrian army who managed to shoot down an Israeli F-16 with its anti-aircraft defense system.
“These recent events have definitely affected the equations of the past to the point of changing them,” says Hezbollah.
