Israeli gunboat violates Lebanese waters

Tuesday 22-November-2016

An Israeli gunboat violated the Lebanese territorial waters off Ras el-Naqoura on Tuesday the Lebanese army said in a statement.

“In a fresh violation of Lebanese sovereignty an Israeli gunboat infiltrated Lebanese territorial waters today by about 300 meters off Ras al-Naqoura for two minutes” the army statement reads.

“Coordination took place between the army and the United Nations Interim Forces in Lebanon (UNIFIL) to tackle the above-said violation” it added.

The Israeli forces frequently violate the Lebanese airspace and territory breaching the UNSC 1701 resolution of 2006 which ended the Israel’s 33-day war on Lebanon.
