Hizb Allah's leader Hassan Nasr Allah continued his address

An Israeli reconnaissance plane circled over Beirut's southern suburbs when Hizb Allah leaders were addressing a mass Shia gathering.

Commemorating Ashura on Tuesday, crowd members confirmed that a plane illegally entered Lebanese airspace just west of Beirut at about 10:00 local time.

Briefly circling the capital's southern suburbs and Baabda, where Lebanon's president lives, the airspace violation failed to prevent Hizb Allah from addressing a crowd of more than 100,000.

Hizb Allah was the resistance group largely responsible for driving Israel from southern Lebanon after a 22-year occupation. <--(total bull****) ;)

However, despite the withdrawal, Israel has flown regular sorties over southern Lebanon.

I hope they were able to collect valuable information there.

Possibly checking up on Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, for a later hit.
