Israeli warplanes on Thursday violated the airspace of Lebanon's capital Beirut, an independent online newspaper reported.

The Israeli airspace violations in Beirut followed its similar intensive flights in Shebaa and Golan Heights in southern Lebanon, Elnashra said.

Israeli warplanes have kept violating Lebanon's airspace in the past few months, prompting Lebanese President Michel Aoun to call on the United States to pressure Israel to stop such practices.

Caretaker Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil said earlier that Israel has violated Lebanon's airspace, land and sea more than 1,500 times in the past eight months.
