The planes left Lebanon's airspace approximately four hours later above Naqqoura. Ten minutes before the departure of the first jet group, another two warplanes entered the airspace above the sea west of Jounieh and conducted aerial maneuvers across the country. Those jets returned to Israel just after midnight above the southern village of Alma Shaab.
