Israeli warplanes violated Lebanese airspace on Monday, flying on reconnaissance missions over Beirut and elsewhere in the country, the Lebanese army said. The army said in a statement that "12 enemy Israeli warplanes" violated Lebanese airspace before noon, four flew over the Mediterranean off the coastal city of Byblos in the north and headed toward the eastern province of Hermel.

Eight other Israeli warplanes flew over the southern town of Rmeish and then headed north to Beirut, the Chouf mountains, southeast of the capital, and Hermel before heading back to the "occupied territories," the statement said. It added that the Israeli over flights lasted about an hour.

There was no immediate statement from the Israeli army which usually does not comment on its flights in Lebanon.

Israeli warplanes frequently fly over south Lebanon in what Israel says are reconnaissance missions. The over flights have drawn ground fire from Lebanese troops on at least two occasions since a U.N.-brokered cease-fire ended a 34-day war between Israel and Hizbullah in August 2006.

Lebanon insists incursions into its waters or airspace violate the United Nations Security Council resolution that ended the 2006 conflict.

The over flights have been a constant source of tension between the two countries.

Lebanon has complained in the past to the U.N. about the Israeli over flights. The U.N. has repeatedly called on Israel to stop its over flights, describing them as a violation of Lebanese sovereignty.(AP)
