IAF warplanes violated Lebanese airspace on Monday, flying on reconnaissance missions over Beirut and elsewhere in the country, the Lebanese army said.
The army said in a statement that "12 enemy 'Israeli' warplanes" violated Lebanese airspace before noon; four flew over the Mediterranean off the coastal city of Byblos in the north and headed toward the eastern province of Hermel.
Eight other 'Israeli' warplanes flew over the southern town of Rmeish, and then headed north to Beirut, the Chouf Mountains, southeast of the capital and Hermel before heading back to the "occupied territories," the statement said. It added that the 'Israeli' over-flights lasted about an hour.
There was no immediate statement from the 'Israeli' army which usually does not comment on its flights in Lebanon. IAF jets frequently fly over south Lebanon in what 'Israel' says are reconnaissance missions.
