FYI:
Eleven Israeli military aircraft have penetrated Lebanese airspace and flown over parts of the country in flagrant violation of a UN Security Council resolution.
Eight Israeli fighter jets crossed into Lebanese airspace over the southern section of the country at 10:55 a.m. local time (0755 GMT) on Monday and conducted several unwarranted sorties in the area, according to a statement released by the Lebanese military.
The Israeli warplanes left the Lebanese airspace at 12:35 p.m. local time (0935GMT) while flying over the village of al-Naqoura, situated 91 kilometers (57 miles) south of the capital Beirut.
Earlier in the day, two remotely-controlled drones infringed upon the Lebanese airspace over the border village of Kfar Kila, located 96 kilometers (59 miles) south of Beirut, at 10:35 a.m. (0735 GMT) and carried out covert surveillance fights over various sectors of Lebanon.
The aircraft flew over the village of al-Naqoura at 11:30 p.m. local time (0830 GMT) and left.
Meanwhile, an Israeli drone violated Lebanese airspace at around 9:00 p.m. local time (1800 GMT) on Monday and carried out covert surveillance sorties over Beirut and Tyre, located about 80 kilometers (50 miles) south of Beirut.
The aircraft left the Lebanese skies at 11:35 p.m. local time (2035 GMT).
Israel violates Lebanon's airspace on an almost daily basis, claiming the flights serve surveillance purposes.
Lebanon's government, the Hezbollah resistance movement and the UN Interim Force in Lebanon, known as UNIFIL, have repeatedly condemned the overflights, saying they are in clear violation of UN Resolution 1701 and the country's sovereignty.
UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which brokered a ceasefire in the war Israel launched against Lebanon in 2006, calls on Tel Aviv to respect Beirut's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
In 2009, Lebanon filed a complaint with the United Nations presenting over 7,000 documents pertaining to Israeli violation of Lebanese territory.
