Israel has violated Lebanese airspace 1000 times said the Lebanese Minister of Public Works and Transport Ali Hamiyah.
His statement on Al Jazeera made instant news, and is now trending on the social media with different hashtags.
The Minister said in a press conference Lebanon is filing a lawsuit against the Daily Telegraph because it reported that the Rafiq Al Hariri International Airport in Beirut was being used to smuggle weapons.
He added all that was written by the London daily is “incorrect” and tarnishes the reputation of the airport.
Further Minister Hamiyah on all foreign ambassadors to Lebanon and the media to visit the airport and inspect all of its sections to see for themselves.
Also we want to send a message through foreign ambassadors to the Israeli enemy to stop violating the airspace above the Rafiq Al Hariri Airport, he added.
In a revealing two-year study Air Pressure revealed that Israeli military aircraft have violated Lebanese airspace 22355 times since 2007. The Lebanese government made many complaints to the UN but to no avail.
