Beirut - A Qatar Airways plane landed at Beirut airport on Monday carrying 142 passengers aboard, despite Israel's blockade on Lebanon.

The Airbus 320 landed at Rafik Hariri International Airport at 15:20 local time (12:20 GMT) in the first of what the national carrier of Qatar said would be daily flights from Doha to Beirut.

Qatar Airways did not comment on whether it had sought Israeli clearance, stating only that it had received approval from Lebanese authorities to operate the flights.
