"Israeli" warplanes fly over Lebanese capital Beirut

"Israeli" warplanes flew over Beirut on Friday, the Lebanese army said, a day after a Palestinian gunman killed eight Jewish seminary students in al-Quds.
"Two enemy ‘Israeli' warplanes" flew over the southern city of Tyre, Beirut and the port town of Jounieh, north of the capital, before heading back to the "occupied territories," the army said in a statement. The "Israeli" army claimed it knew of no activity in Beirut.
"Israeli" warplanes frequently breach Lebanese sovereignty by flying over south Lebanon in what "Israel" claims are reconnaissance missions. The overflights have drawn ground fire from Lebanese troops on at least two occasions since an Aug. 14, 2006, cease-fire ended a monthlong war between "Israel" and Hizbullah guerrillas.
They have occasionally flown over Beirut.
Three "Israeli" reconnaissance planes violated Lebanese airspace in southern Lebanon Thursday, the Lebanese army said in an earlier statement.
