Lebanon blocks Iranian plane from entering airspace after Israeli threats, ministry source says

Lebanon's transport ministry told an Iranian aircraft not to enter its airspace after Israel warned air traffic control at Beirut airport that it would use "force" if the plane landed, a source at the ministry told Reuters.

The source said it was not clear what was on the plane. "The priority is people's lives," the source added.
