CBC regularly ignores the thousands of Israeli violations of Lebanese airspace by Israeli aircraft, which have happened almost daily for years, but considers it big news when one drone flies into Israel.
In the article CBC did report that Israel made two jet sorties over Lebanon, but did not mention the more salient fact that Israel regularly has made thousands of sorties over Lebanon. How can that possibly not be considered important contextual, background information by any ethical journalist?
This omission is even more glaring when CBC thought it newsworthy to use a hypocritical quote from Israel PM Netanyahu in which he declares he will respond to threats to his citizens, but does not mention the fact that Israel is regularly provoking his neighbours with aerial violations showing no respect at all to Lebanon's sovereignty.
