JERUSALEM - Agence France-Presse
The Lebanese Army 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 Agence France Presse.
A Lebanese 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.
The over flights violate U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701, which ended a devastating war in 2006, but Israel argues they are needed to monitor arms smuggling.
