On August 20th, Lebanon lodged a complaint at the United Nations due to Israel continually carrying out airstrikes from its airspace.
Caretaker Lebanese Defense Minister Zeina Akar, in a statement, condemned the Israeli violation of Lebanese airspace during its bombing of Syrian areas on August 19th.
Akar noted that the Israeli violation posed a direct and serious threat to the Lebanese navigation and safety of civil aviation, and were in flagrant violation of international resolutions, especially United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, which ended the 33-day-long Israeli military onslaught on Lebanon in the summer of 2006.
She said that a complaint had been filed through Lebanon’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Amal Mudallali regarding Israeli violations.
She stressed that the UN must deter Israel from violating and using Lebanese airspace to launch its attacks against neighboring Syria.
Caretaker Prime Minister Hassan Diab said, on his part, also condemned the continuous encroachment:
“The enemy’s continuous violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty is a direct violation to UN Security Council Resolution 1701.”
Diab added that the UN should condemn the Israeli aggression and take measures that preserve Lebanon’s sovereignty and protect Resolution 1701.
Major General Stefano Del Col, head of mission and force commander of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), condemned the Israeli violations, stressing that such overflights undermine the Arab country’s sovereignty.
Overflights of Lebanese territory by Israeli fighter aircraft are violations of @UN Res. 1701 and of #Lebanon's sovereignty. I again call on the IDF to desist from such actions, which undermine #UNIFIL efforts to contain tensions and build confidence among the local population.

He called on the Israeli military to put an end to such actions, stressing that they undermine UNIFIL’s efforts to contain tensions and build confidence among the local population in southern Lebanon.
On August 17th, and then 19th, Israel carried out strikes towards Syrian soil, striking alleged Hezbollah positions.
An anonymous Syria military source told Syria’s official SANA news agency that the Israeli military launched missile strikes targeting some posts on the outskirts of Damascus and in Homs.
The source added that most missiles coming from the southeastern side of Beirut were intercepted by Syrian air defense systems.
According to Lebanon, Israel violates the country’s airspace on an almost daily basis, claiming the flights serve surveillance purposes.
Lebanon’s government, the Hezbollah resistance movement and UNIFIL have repeatedly condemned the overflights, saying they are in clear violation of UN Resolution 1701 and the country’s sovereignty.
More than a year ago, in April 2020, Lebanon lodged a complaint to the United Nation against Tel Aviv for violating the country’s airspace after Israeli military aircraft carried out airstrikes on multiple targets in Syria’s central province of Homs.
In 2009, Lebanon filed a complaint with the UN, presenting over 7,000 documents pertaining to Israeli violations of Lebanese territory.
None of these have led to anything substantial.

The scales have completely flipped your surrounded one mistake and you could see 10 thousand missiles a day slamming into Israel hezbollah is no longer only in Lebanon when you say hezbollah your facing them in Lebanon Syria Iraq and not to mention the Afghani and Pakistani fighter and the Yemen’s and even the taliban are calling for closer relationship with Iran all of a sudden you might find yourself facing not only the Arabs but all central Asian Muslim countries too Russia China and the US already made their stance clear no one is coming to save you. the Islamic revolution will swallow you alive. Even hezbollah brought its oil shipment in from Iran and you didn’t do anything or the US.
Your arrogance will lead to your demise.
Hear me out as an Israeli and mark my words – ANYONE who wants to come and face us on the battlefield from the 4 corners of the world is welcomed. Just don’t expect us to play nicely, we’ve got some new toys for them. If you somehow believe we will let them shoot thousands of rockets into our cities you are dead wrong, the war will be over before that happens and Lebanon will not remain a state anymore – more like Somalia.
Don’t bother replying to the Islamic trolls, Islam is already collapsing from all sides , hopefully it will soon disappear.That’s why you see all the Islamic trolls getting desperate.They know Islamic empire is collapsing rapidly and so is superpower China.
You are some of the biggest pussies in exsistance! Drop the American paid for technology and what are you? A bunch of hairy troglodytes.
So whats stopping you invading Lebanon you TIT,maybe the nightmare of 2006,ask your mum to keep the light on when you go to sleep,those big bad Hezbollah are coming to get you.
If you had known me long enough, you should have known I follow orders. If and when we get the order to enter Lebanon from the high command, then we will. There is no nightmare atleast not for us the elite squads, only alot of motivation to find and destroy our enemies and their supporters. You see you TIT, I fight to protect my country and my family. You don’t want to meet an angry IDF soldier while his city is bombed, I promise you that I will show them no mercy. On a side note, sure I hope Bennet orders the IDF to engage Hezbollah, Hamas are already licking their wounds from the slap they got. Time to keep your mouths shut.
Israel is like a lion cornered by hyenas. The lion can easily kill a Hyena but the Hyenas keep moving and nipping at the lion until the lion eventually tires and can’t fight back any more.
Israel is a small, resource poor strip of land with her back to the sea and surrounded by enemies. She did lots of damage to her attackers in the past but her enemies are persistent and her strikes are no longer scaring them away …. they smell fear and know if they are persistent and patient a feast will result.
It may take decades or it may take centuries but eventually Israel will fall. The USA supports her now but US power is trending down and they are an economic crisis away from crashing out of geopolitical relevance … all it takes is a lack of confidence in the US’s ability to defend the oil trade and the USD is toast.
As the USA has learned for the second time in fifty years, you can’t always bomb your problems away … paper covers rock. Israel should take note and look for other solutions before it’s too late.
Except Israel is the hyena, defended by a behemoth, this is why the lions around it cannot attack.

The only complaint that will be acknowledged by this criminal rogue state Is several dozen Sam missiles coming at their American jets.
Lebanese Defense Minister Akar????? Who and what the hell are you defending, you stupid, weak little worm? Your country’s airspace is being violated at will and bombed by the HeimyYid ZioJew rats as in a video game. Either let Hezbollah blitz the hell out of the enemy with thousands of rockets and shoot down the HeimySkyRats or leave the country and your big government paychecks!
Lebanon has had decades to bbuild modern airforce and air defence missiles,what the hell have they been doing.and i asked at the time when Hezbollah were fighting the Israeli thugs in 2006,where the hell were the Lebanese army?
Pure comedy gold. The UN will stand up to the Zios ? Are you kidding me ?
” She stressed that the UN must deter Israel from violating and using Lebanese airspace to launch its attacks against neighboring Syria. “
Let Israel attack and you will that Lebanon will become united as a monolith. The jews are really that stupid, that their behaviour gives Hezbollah the right excuse to unite all of the lebanese people.
Yeah.. a strongly worded letter should do the trick.
