3. To remind you, the truce reiterates full compliance with UN Resolution 1701.

So before hurling unfounded accusations, it would be helpful to refer to Resolution 1701, don't you think?

For instance, Resolution 1701, like the current cease fire agreement, only makes references to the ground forces and does not specifically address air space. Therefore, it would not be a violation of the current agreement, as it has not been a violation of Resolution 1701, for Israel to cross Lebanon's air space. Specific to this agreement, Israel reserves the right to respond militarily to any of Hezbollah's violations of the current cease fire agreement, an item that Resolution 1701 did not provide for. Oh, did I mention that Hezbollah violated Resolution 1701 the minute the first terrorist stepped foot south of Litani River back in 2006, and has been in violation of this resolution ever since then? The article you cited did.

So one who would, after reading the article, get an impression to the contrary is obviously not paying attention, intentionally so or otherwise. And the presumption of some supporters of the Israeli government from around the world that you made references to may be spot on.
