Lebanon fires on Israeli warplanes: security official; Israeli in violation of its air space

Lebanon's military fired anti-aircraft artillery at Israeli warplanes that were flying over Lebanon, a senior Israeli security official said on Tuesday.

"Our aircraft have been targeted by the Lebanese anti-aircraft guns while flying over southern Lebanon, and there was no damage," the official who requested the anonymity told AFP.

A military spokesperson neither confirmed nor denied the report.

Lebanon issues almost daily reports of Israeli violations of its air space, but its military rarely opens fire unless the planes fly within range of its guns.

1. I think Israel is in for a rude awakening

as to what their brutal illegal attack on civilians will cost them.

4. Symbolic at best

IAF is flying above AAA and MANPAD range. Hezbollah has no serious SAMs.
