Israeli drone buzzes over south Lebanon

An Israeli reconnaissance plane has penetrated Lebanese airspace and flown over the southern part of the country in violation of a UN Security Council resolution.
The Israeli aircraft crossed into Lebanese airspace over the city of Tyre, located about 83 kilometers (51 miles) south of the capital Beirut, at 3:35 p.m. local time (1235 GMT) on Tuesday.
It then conducted several flights over Sidon, another city south of the capital, and the southern border town of Alma al-Shaab, a statement released by the Lebanese military said.
The remote-controlled drone left Lebanese airspace hours after the illegal flight.
Israel violates Lebanon's airspace on an almost daily basis, claiming the flights serve surveillance purposes.
Lebanon's government, the Hezbollah resistance movement, and the UN Interim Force in Lebanon, known as UNIFIL, have repeatedly cited Israel's air surveillance flights over Lebanon as flagrant violations of UN Resolution 1701 and the country's sovereignty.
UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which brokered a ceasefire in the war of aggression Israel launched against Lebanon in 2006, calls on Israel to respect Lebanon's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
