Israeli Spy Device Found South of Lebanon

An Israeli spy device was found on Tuesday adjacent to a Lebanese army position to the east of the southern border town of Markaba.

The transmission and photographic device was found planted near the blue line opposite a helicopter airstrip and a Lebanese army post in the area, Voice of Lebanon radio (100.5) said.

Lebanon has frequently reported Israeli espionage devices being found in the south of the country and elsewhere.

Scores of people accused of spying for Israel have also been arrested in Lebanon since April 2009, most of them army members or telecommunications employees.

Furthermore, the Voice of Lebanon radio (93.3) said Tuesday that Israeli troops accompanied by a bulldozer approached the outer-part of the technical fence in the outskirts of Adaiseh and removed the concrete barriers from a disputed area.
