Russia calls Israel's violations of Lebanon's airspace unacceptable

Share:

Russia views Israeli violations of Lebanese airspace as a blatant and “regular” violation of a U.N. Security Council resolution, the foreign minister said.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said, during talks in Moscow, that Israel was in violation of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701 for its failure to respect Lebanon’s sovereignty.

“We consider violating this resolution unacceptable, especially as far as respect for Lebanon’s sovereignty and airspace is concerned,” he said in a statement. “Regrettably, this is a regular violation by the Israeli air force.”

Resolution 1701 secured a cease-fire in a 2006 war between Hezbollah and Israel. The measure calls on Hezbollah to disarm while reminding Israel of its obligation to respect Lebanon’s sovereignty.

Israel maintains a defensive posture given the presence of Hezbollah along Lebanon’s southern border. Beirut has complained repeatedly to the United Nations that the Israeli military was violating its airspace with frequent overflights.

Lebanese Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour said security forces have arrested at least 27 Syrians suspected of smuggling weapons to anti-regime forces across the border.

He added, however, that Lebanon has been able to maintain the security along its western border with Syria.

        As I often tell friends who shiver at the sound of a jet, flying over is not a problem.
        I’d only worry about when they suddenly stop.

    Blah blah blah. Sick and tired of just listening. Russiya, if you are so concerned, then give us some sophisticated anti air craft missiles and some MIG’s and we’ll blow these fockers out of our skies. Stop talking and advising and a bit more action please. Or even better yet, why don’t you come down to Lebanon and do it for us.
