Hizbullah intercepts the Israeli warplanes

The Lebanese Hizbullah party on Thursday announced that its fighters opened fire at Israeli warplanes which broke into the Lebanese airspace. In a statement, the Lebanese party said that its air defense means interfered against Israeli warplanes that violated the Lebanese airspace in the western sector of south Lebanon.

The Lebanese police said that it used its air defense against two Israeli warplanes while they were flying over Tyre in South Lebanon.

The Israeli warplanes since October, 2001, have repeatedly on daily basis violated the Lebanese airspace.

On the other hand, the Lebanese foreign minister Mahmoud Hammoud on Thursday refused the accusations addressed by the US President George Bush to the Hizbullah party over practicing terrorism.
