Foreign sources: air force destroyed device in Lebanon

The media in Lebanon reported tonight that an aircraft of the Israeli Air Force caused an explosion of a classified device in the area of the Litani river, in a wadi between the village of Tirpelsia and the city of A-Zeraria, in the south of Lebanon.

The television station of the Hezbollah – El Menar, and the Lebanese LBC network reported that this was a monitoring device which was fixed on a communication cable of the organization in the south of Lebanon. According to them, Israeli aircrafts circled the area intensively since the afternoon hours at a low height, and performed decoy attacks.

According to the report, Israeli aircraft bombed a wadi in the area by means of an air-ground rocket, in order to hit the device which was planted in the area, after the Hezbollah exposed the device. According to another report, the explosive was bombed by means of remote control, most probably by a signal which the aircraft in the area activated.

About six months ago, the Hezbollah exposed pictures of a similar spying device, which according to factors in the organization was also attacked by Israel after it was revealed by the authorities in Lebanon.

The Lebanese news agent A-nashara related that this was an unmanned aircraft which circled above the Tirepelsia River, and even reached the wadis close to the A-zeraria village. The Lebanese channel El-jadid, which is connected to the Hezbollah, reported that forces of the Lebanese army and Hezbollah are on-call in the area in order to make sure that the explosion in A-zeraria is only a hit of the Israeli spying device, and not beyond that.

The IDF spokesman informed: "The IDF does not relate to such reports as a matter of course".

The Hezbollah organization published an announcement according to which it managed to locate an Israeli device which tapped the linear communication network of the resistance in that area, and that the "enemy" blew it up from far without any casualties.

"The technical spying attempt of the enemy, which was prevented by the resistance, is part of the Israeli attacks on the communication system, and this is a breach of sovereignty and an attempt to harm the Lebanese security. The Islamic resistance will continue to fight the plots of the enemy and its attacks on the Lebanese security and peace".
