Middle East Eye: Russian jets 'intercept' Israeli planes over Lebanon: Reports

Israel's jets, long used to being unchallenged in Lebanese airspace, face off with Russia's despite a deconfliction mechanism in place

Russian fighter jets intercepted Israeli warplanes over Lebanese airspace early on Monday morning, according to local outlets.

Reports claimed that two Israeli F-16 jets were challenged by Russian Sukhoi Su-34 jets over Lebanese airspace.

Israeli and Russian officials did not confirm the incident took place.

Videos circulated online showed Russian planes flying over Lebanon. The clips, however, did not show any Israeli jets.

The Russian jets may have been participating in a routine training exercise before intercepting the Israeli warplanes, according to Israeli newspaper Hadashot.
