BEIRUT, May 26 (KUNA) -- The Lebanese army announced on Wednesday that it
launched surface-to-air missiles at Israeli fighter jets that had violated the
Lebanese airspace.
A statement issued by the army directorate said that the two Israeli jets
penetrated Lebanese airspace over the town of Kfar Kila in the south, heading
to Shaka town.
The Lebanese anti-aircraft guns prevented the two Israeli jets from
proceeding, it said, adding that they were flying at a medium altitude over
Sheba'a village.
Israeli jets fly over Lebanese airspace frequently, in violation of
Lebanon's sovereignty and UN Security Council Resolution 1701. (end)
