Lebanese FM: 'Israeli air breaches' danger to region

Adnan Mansour says international community must intervene, warns violations of Lebanese airspace won’t provide Israel with security it seeks

Lebanon’s caretaker Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour said Israeli violations of Lebanese airspace would not provide it with the security it seeks, urging the international community to intervene, the Lebanese Daily Star reported Saturday.

“Such attacks will result in more tension and it will not provide Israel with the security and peace it wants in its own way but will push the region toward more conflicts and lead it to the unknown,” said Mansour in a statement.

“Such attacks place the international community in front of its responsibilities and requires it to compel Israel to respect international resolutions, particularly [United Nations Resolution] 1701,” said the foreign minister.

Israeli flyovers in Lebanese airspace have intensified recently, Lebanese media reported, with the last 48 hours seeing unusual flight patterns
