Israeli warplanes yesterday violated Lebanese airspace over the Shebaa farms which are located between Lebanon and Syria, a Lebanese security source said.
The security source told Jordan’s Petra news agency that Israeli warplanes carried out reconnaissance missions at medium altitude over the villages of Arqub, Marjayoun and Hasbaya all the way to the eastern and western Bekaa Valley.
A commander in the Lebanese Army said in a statement that three Israeli warships violated Lebanese territorial waters near Ras Al-Naqoura on three occassions. The violations are being monitored in coordination with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), it added.
