Alwaght- Lebanese authorities intend to send an urgent complaint to the UN Security Council over the invasion of the country’s airspace by Israeli regime warplanes.
Israeli warplanes illegally entered Lebanon’s airspace to launch attacks on Syria and in doing so created a threat to passenger aircraft, Lebanese Minister of Public Works and Transport Youssef Fenianos said Wednesday.
There was an agreement that Lebanon will file the complaint and will take a decision that will protect Lebanon and its citizens, Fenianos tweeted.
The minister earlier informed Prime Minister Saad Hariri that a crash of two civilian aircraft in Lebanon’s skies during the regime's aggression on Syria on Tuesday was narrowly avoided.
Six Israeli regime F-16 fighter jets directly threatened two civil planes during a recent airstrike on Syria, Gen. Maj. Igor Konashenkov, the spokesman of the Russian Defense Ministry, said also on Wednesday. He added that Syria’s air defenses managed to destroy 14 out of 16 Israeli bombs during the airstrike.
Earlier, the Syrian SANA news agency reported that the regime warplanes carried out an unprecedented 1.5-hour long attack on Syria, with the majority of the Israeli missiles being intercepted by Syrian air defenses.
Syria also strongly condemned Israel’s recent missile strike near the capital Damascus as a blatant violation of a United Nations resolution, adding that Tel Aviv would not have been able to carry out such attacks without support from the United States.
In two separate letters addressed to the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres and the head of the UN Security Council, the Syrian Foreign Ministry on Wednesday condemned the attack as a violation of UN Security Council Resolution 350, which called for a ceasefire between Israel and Syria in the wake of the Yom Kippur War.
