Spy Device Discovered in Adaisseh

A spy device was discovered on Friday in the southern region of al-Adaisseh, reported the National News Agency.

It said that it was found near the border fence with Israel in a disputed area known as al-Mahafeer.

The device carries a camera and was placed on the ground.

Members of the army, United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, and security forces soon deployed in the area.

Israeli soldiers meanwhile were seen on the other side of the border as they surveyed the scene.

Israeli espionage devices are often discovered in southern areas.

In December, the army dismantled an Israeli espionage device in the vicinity of the town of Toulin in the Marjeyoun district.

Two people were lightly wounded earlier that month when Israel blew up a spy device planted on the Marjeyoun Plain road.

In September 2014, Hizbullah military expert Hussein Haidar was killed as an Israeli drone remotely detonated a spy device he was dismantling in the southern coastal town of Adloun.
