IsraHelli drones freely violating Lebanese Airspace and staying inside for hours

IsraHelli drones have started deliberate violations of Lebanese airspace as 3 reconnaissance planes have penetrated Lebanon and flown over parts of the country in flagrant violation of a UN Security Council resolution. An unmanned IsraHelli aircraft crossed into Lebanese airspace at 4:45 a.m. local time (0145 GMT) on Monday and conducted several unwarranted flights above the al-Fakiha area in Baalbek, located 86 km (53 miles) northeast of the capital Beirut, according to a statement released by the Lebanese military. The spy aircraft left Lebanese airspace hours later while flying over southern Lebanon.


On Sunday, an IsraHelli drone was observed at 7:40 a.m. (0440 GMT) patrolling the skies above several areas in southern Lebanon, including the village of al-Naqoura, located 91 km (57 miles) south of Beirut, Riak, which is close to the Syrian border, and Baalbek. The remote-controlled drone left Lebanese airspace at 7:50 p.m. local time (1650 GMT) after more than 12 hours of cross border terrorism while flying over Alma al-Shaab, a town in southern Lebanon.

Later in the day, an unmanned IsraHelli aerial vehicle violated Lebanon's airspace and flew over several areas in southern Lebanon, including the border town of Alma al-Shaab at 9:20 p.m. local time (1820 GMT). The spy aircraft left at 1:50 a.m. on Monday (2250 GMT on Sunday) while flying over the southern border village of Rmeish. IsraHell violates Lebanon's airspace on an almost daily basis, claiming the flights serve surveillance purposes.


Lebanon's government and the UN Interim Force in Lebanon, known as UNIFIL, have repeatedly cited IsraHell's air surveillance flights over Lebanon as clear violations of UN resolution 1701 and the country's sovereignty. UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which brokered a ceasefire in the war of aggression IsraHell launched against Lebanon in 2006, calls on IsraHell to respect Lebanon's sovereignty and territorial integrity. In 2009 also, Beirut complained to the United Nations about IsraHelli aircraft violating the airspace over the south of the country.
