BEIRUT (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 26th December, 2018) The Israeli military aircraft entered on Tuesday evening the airspace of southern Lebanon and carried out maneuvers at a low altitude, local media reported.

According to Lebanon's national news agency (NNA), the Israeli aircraft carried out mock attacks on Lebanon's southern territories during a 10-minute period.

The Israeli war planes, in particular, conducted maneuvers over the Lebanese cities of Nabatieh, Sidon and Tyre.

The Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) then reported that the Lebanese airspace had been used for an airstrike on Damascus surroundings.
