Lebanese army sources reported Wednesday [June 12 2013] that a number of Israeli military vehicles advanced approximately 15 meters into Lebanese territory, and that Lebanon complained to the UNIFIL. The Lebanese army said that two Israeli tanks and two armored vehicles breached the border, and that the Lebanese Border Guards lodged a complaint to the United Nations United Nations Interim Force In Lebanon (UNIFIL), asking them to order the army to withdraw.

The UNIFIL contacted the Israeli side and managed to have the army withdraw in order to avoid tension or “be dragged into conflicts in the region”.

On Wednesday evening, the Israeli Air Force breached Lebanese airspace by flying over areas in central and southern Lebanon.
