Though it wasn’t Hezbollah which fired on the jets, I thought I’d include this clip of Hassan Nasrallah summing up the legitimacy of Lebanese resistance anyway. Aside from the inflammatory remarks often exaggerated in the news, Nasrallah is actually a well-spoken leader with a valid position.
The Lebanese army has opened fire on Israeli jets as they flew over the south of the country in violation of Lebanon’s airspace.
“The army’s anti-aircraft units fired at four Israeli jets overflying the south on two occasions between 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. (0700 and 0900 GMT),” a police official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
He said none of the aircraft was hit.
Monday’s incident follows a weekend speech by Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in which he taunted the Zionist regime by boasting that his group had the body parts of Israeli soldiers who died during the 33-day Israeli war against Lebanon in 2006.
During his speech, Nasrallah warned Israel that any attack on Lebanon would result in a war that will change the whole map of the region.
On several occasions in recent months, the Lebanese army has opened fire on Israeli jets flying low near the border area between the two countries.
Such overflights are a violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701.
The United Nations has called on the Zionist regime to stop violating Lebanese airspace. It says the overflights undermine the credibility of UN peacekeepers stationed in southern Lebanon and compromise efforts to stabilize the region.
