Israel destroys spying device in Lebanon after Hezbollah discovered it

An Israeli warplane has fired missiles into southern Lebanon to destroy an espionage device Tel Aviv had planted in the area.

The move came after the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah discovered the spy system, apparently a listening device, in al-Zreiriyyeh area on Monday.

Some reports say the device was placed on Hezbollah telecommunications lines in the area.

The Lebanese army has discovered and dismantled several Israeli spy systems planted inside the country in recent years.

In December 2010, the Lebanese army said it had located two sophisticated, Israeli-made surveillance devices in mountains near the capital, Beirut.
