BEIRUT: Israel continues to breach Lebanese airspace as Israeli overflights intensified Thursday, with more than five Israeli planes breaching Lebanese airspace throughout the day. The overflights were answered by retaliatory fire from Lebanese Army troops stationed in the South. However, there was noticeably no reaction from the Lebanese resistance group Hizbullah.

Israel is hunting for Hezbollah, and Hezbollah knows it. The overflights are to draw them out and survey their positions.

They should also know their days are numbered, as their last remaining state sponsors start coming under increasing U.S. pressure.
