Foreign media claim IAF fighter jets conducted three separate aerial incursions into Lebanon's airspace overnight. US website says target was weapons convoy; IDF remains mum
"Israeli forces have attacked a target on the Syrian-Lebanese border overnight," foreign and Arab media sources alleged Wednesday, saying that 12 IAF jets breached Lebanon's airspace on Tuesday.
The US-based Al-Monitor website quoted Lebanese sources as saying the target was a weapons convoy traveling near Syria’s border with Lebanon. The report has not been corroborated by any Israeli source and the IDF refused to comment on the matter.
If IAF jets had indeed flown over Lebanese territory on Tuesday, it was likely part of Israel's tight surveillance along the Syria-Lebanon border to prevent Hezbollah from obtaining weapons which could tip the balance of power. Such weapons could enable the terrorist group to target Israeli naval targets or locations across Israel.
