UN envoy urges Israel to end "violations" of Lebanese airspace
Beirut, 26 January: The United Nations Information Office in Beirut issued the following statement:
"The personal envoy of the UN secretary-general in South Lebanon, Staffan de Mistura, has expressed deep concern over the continuing numerous Israeli air violations of the Blue Line." The statement added: "At 1300 [1100 gmt] this afternoon, 11 Israeli military planes and an unmanned B-7 aircraft violated Lebanese airspace, in addition to six violations recorded yesterday by five military planes and one unmanned aircraft."
The UN envoy said that "the UN had on numerous occasions drawn attention to the continued violations of the Blue Line, as was recently reported in the secretary-general's report to the Security Council. The personal envoy of the UN secretary-general reiterates his calls to Israeli authorities to put an end to these violations, and reminds all parties concerned that one violation of the Blue Line does not justify another violation."
