Israeli forces fired 455 projectiles into southern Lebanon and breached Lebanese airspace 97 times between Friday and Sunday, the heaviest fire seen in months, according to the UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon, Al Jazeera reports.
Unifil said Saturday alone accounted for 229 of those projectiles, “the highest single-day total since 21 June”.
The UN secretary-general’s deputy spokesperson, Farhan Haq, said that “most of the airspace violations came from drones, though helicopters and fighter jets were also involved”.
The UN says Israel’s activities violate Security Council Resolution 1701, adopted as the internationally agreed framework for peace and stability in southern Lebanon following the 2006 conflict.
