Why doesn't Lebanon buy some modern air defense systems to deny its airspace to Israel?

Why doesn't Lebanon shoot down Israeli military jets violating its airspace? Why do they allow Israel fighter jets to fly over their airspace? I have Lebanese friends and they keep telling me how Israelis keep harassing Lebanons airspace and sovereignty. They say that Israels air force fly over Lebanon on a daily basis. Why doesn't Lebanon buy some modern air defense systems to deny its airspace to Israel?

What a dumb question.

What a dumb question.

Why? Because you dont like it? Would you be okay with Indian fighter jets over Pakistani airspace?

Simple, it depends on what your national defense strategy is which is closely dependent and drawn from your elements of national power. Maybe Lebanon has other things to worry about than denying its airspace to foreign military jets.

But regarding Iraq. Does Iraq really have "enemies in the region? In Lebanon's case its different considering they have a enemy (Israel) next door. Iraq and Iran relations seems to be good. Iraq and Turkey also seem to be good friends. Syrias has its own problems and cant really threaten Iraq. Jordan is also no threat. Same with Kuwait. Saudi Arabia also seems to be no enemy to Iraq? Hopefully the US soldiers will soon leave Iraq.

Iraq is occupied and ruled by Rahfawis, a bunch of Iranian majoos. The entire eastern front is hostile, but we're occupied.

Lebanon is in the same boat and is quite doomed.
