Lebanon-Israel, Military, 4/12/2003
Lebanese security sources said that the Israeli military planes flew over areas in South Lebanon, breaking the sound barrier over the port of Tyre on Friday.
The Israeli jets flew over the port of Tyre which is 80 Km to the south of Beirut at low altitude for just 10 minutes.
Meantime, the Hizbullah party said that its artillery opened their fire at the Israeli raiding planes which violated the Lebanese airspace near the border.
