Israeli Air Force fighter jets entered Lebanese airspace and flew at low altitude over the capital Beirut, breaking the sound barrier and causing panic among local residents, TASS reported, BTA reported.
The agency cited a source from the civil defense service.
"The planes broke the sound barrier twice over the city, causing a loud boom", he noted.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said last night that he saw "breakthroughs" both in the Iranian government and "on the ground", writes the French newspaper "Le Monde".
Iran "is on the verge of being destroyed", its arsenal of drones and missiles has been greatly reduced, and Israel "is winning the war", the prime minister also said at his televised press conference, emphasizing that Iran can no longer enrich uranium or produce ballistic missiles.
The destruction of these programs was a key goal of the American-Israeli offensive, the French publication reminds.
Netanyahu added that he was not sure "who is currently ruling Iran". "What we are observing is that there is a lot of tension among those who are fighting for power," he stressed during his press conference.
Unlike Donald Trump, the Israeli prime minister did not rule out the possibility of deploying Israeli ground troops, notes "Le Monde".
