Lebanon voices concern over Israeli air violations

Lebanese Defense Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Elias Murr has expressed concerns over continuous, near-daily Israeli aerospace violations over Lebanon.

The Lebanese official made the remark in a private meeting with the UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon, Press TV correspondent Afaf Konja reported on Friday.

"Israeli violations have reached 6,500 incidents," Murr said during a press conference at the UN following the meeting.

"You can not ask from Lebanon if it has two, five or six incidents. According to the UN, the Israeli side commits 6,500 violations and there is no accountability in this issue?" he added.

"This is unacceptable and should be stopped so that the UN Resolution 1701 would be implemented from our side in a better way," he further explained.

UN Security Council Resolution 1701 ended the 33-day Israeli war against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon in the summer of 2006.
