Israeli warplanes swooped over Lebanon on Monday.

The planes flew low over southern Lebanon and the capital Beirut. However neither Hezbollah nor the Lebanese army responded in any way.

French Defense Minister Michele Alliot-Marie called on Israel to stop violating Lebanese airspace immediately; a call left unanswered by Israel.

Israeli jets have routinely flown over Lebanon since the 34-day war with Hezbollah guerillas in the country ended.
