Lebanese President Michel Aoun censured the Zionist entity's repeated violations of Lebanon's sovereignty, accusing the ‘Israeli' apartheid regime of seeking to achieve its goals by bullying other nations.

Lebanese President at UN: ‘Israel’ Violating Our Sovereignty

Addressing the 72nd United Nations General Assembly [UNGA] in New York, Aoun said Thursday that ‘Israel' has never respected Lebanon and its regional neighbors.

"Israel has always repeatedly violated Lebanese sovereignty," Aoun said, referring to recent incidents, including an ‘Israeli' strike against the Syrian army's positions launched from Lebanese airspace. "These violations are not new."

Commenting on the September 7 incident, the Syrian army said in a statement that one of its military positions near the town of Masyaf, located approximately 40 kilometers west of the provincial capital city of Hama, was hit by a number of missiles fired from ‘Israeli' warplanes flying over Lebanese airspace earlier in the day.

Two days later, Lebanese Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil asked the country's mission at the UN to file a complaint against the Zionist entity.

However, it only took the ‘Israeli' military another day to repeat the airspace violations. On September 10, an ‘Israeli' aircraft breached Lebanese airspace over the southern city of Sidon, 40 kilometers south of the capital Beirut, causing sonic booms that broke windows and shook buildings.

Earlier this week, Aoun said during meetings with various delegations on the sidelines of the UNGA that ‘Israel' was still "lurking" on Lebanon's border and the international community had failed to stop it.

"The ‘Israeli' enemy remains lurking. ‘Israel' keeps violating Lebanon's sovereignty through daily breaches of its airspace and thus international resolutions. The international community has not been able to compel it to abide by the resolutions in force, not even by the international solutions that are put forward for the sake of peace in the region," he said.
