"Israeli" warplanes intrude on Beirut airspace
Source: AFP & Daily Star, 27-1-2007
BEIRUT: As Beirut`s curfew ended at 6 a.m. Friday and Lebanese looked forward to a day of calm following Thursday`s deadly clashes, "Israeli" forces conducted a series of over flights across Lebanon, including the capital in what was for many a stark reminder of the summer 2006 war.
An "Israeli" plane was seen "circling at a low altitude" off the coast of Beirut early Friday, in violation of the terms of the cease-fire ending the war with "Israel", a Lebanese Army source told The Daily Star.
This was the first time since October 30 that an "Israeli" plane was detected near the capital, but a spokesperson for the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFL) told The Daily Star that "Israel" violates Lebanese airspace south of the Litani River, where UNIFIL operates "almost every day."
Liam McDowall said that over the last week there have been "numerous reports of violations" of Lebanese airspace by "Israel", all of which constitute breaches of UN Resolution 1701, which ended the 34-day war.
The army said an "Israeli" drone flew over Bayada, near Naqoura, in the early morning, circling the area before flying over Ilma as-Shaab, a border town, before heading back to "Israel". On Friday afternoon, two other planes flew over Lebanese waters and Naqoura.
The National News Agency reported that in the village of Zibddine, in the Shebaa Farms, "Israeli" soldiers opened fire on the surrounding area. "Israeli" forces also patrolled the area around the border village of Ghajar, NNA said.

The UN Resolution 1701 also say to disarm hezbolla, what UNIFIL and Lebanon govermant said they won't...so why should israel stop to flights, the hezbolla keep arming, and the U.N don't do its job...give israel one reason to stop this flights...
nobody wants israel flying into lebanon
this is utter violation and provocation
if israel really worries they wouldn't have bombed the shit out of lebanon in the summer and now weakened it totally.. bad move because lebanese are fighting each other, that is no good news for them by the way!

Israeli warplanes dropped over the southern town of Nabatiyeh Saturday balloons containing poisonous material, the National News Agency said.
