Lebanon Files Complaint with U.N. over Israeli Spying Device
Lebanon filed a complaint with the U.N. Security Council on Saturday over an Israeli device found in south Lebanon to spy on Hizbullah’s private telecommunications network.
Hizbullah said Friday that it discovered the device which exploded after apparently being detonated remotely by the Israelis near the village of Majdel Selem, about 8 kilometers from the border with Israel.
The Lebanese foreign ministry said it filed the complaint through its mission in New York.
In its letter, it said planting such devices is a clear violation of Lebanese sovereignty, international law and Security Council resolution 1701.
The move stresses again that Israel disregards international resolutions, continues its aggressive campaign against Lebanon and threatens peace, the letter added.
