Israeli Aircraft Drop Heat Balloons Off Naqoura
Israeli aircraft on Monday released scarlet heat balloons over Lebanon's regional waters, in the first such violation in around a year.
"Israeli warplanes dropped more than 30 scarlet heat balloons between Naqoura and Tyre within two hours," state-run National News Agency reported.
Meanwhile, LBCI television said Israeli warplanes fired "five flare bombs over the sea off Tyre's coast."
Earlier on Monday, the Lebanese army issued statements about a series of violations of Lebanese airspace by Israeli jets.
Israel has escalated its flights over Lebanon in recent weeks.
