UNIFIL Urges Israel to Halt Lebanese Air Violations
Spokeswoman for the UN Interim Force in Lebanon Yasmina Bouzian has urged the Israeli regime to stop violating Lebanese airspace.
"We have protested to the Israeli army against the air violations and we have asked that they be stopped," Bouziane said on Tuesday.
The over-flights "do not only constitute a violation to Lebanese sovereignty, but also to (UN Security Council) Resolution 1701... and they create a tense atmosphere," she added.
She pointed out that they had already submitted reports to the UN Security Council on the over-flights.
The United Nations has repeatedly denounced Israel's over-flights as undermining the credibility of UNIFIL posted in south Lebanon and efforts to stabilize the region.
