Protesting Israel's recurrent violation against Lebanon's southern territories, residents of the border town of Mays al-Jabal staged a sit-in in the presence of MP Qassem Hashem and a number of journalists, the state-run National News Agency reported on Saturday.

NNA said that Israeli troops had fired tear gas bombs in the direction of the campaigners to disperse them which led to several cases of suffocation.

Meanwhile Israeli airplanes hovered over the region.

On Wednesday, a 12-member Israeli force crossed the electronic fence in the outskirts of Mays al-Jabal in the Kroum al-Sharqi area.

Troops planted spy devices consisted of a camera and a transmission instrument that are both solar powered.

The development comes amid high tensions between Israel and Hizbullah that follow an exchange of threats and amid unconfirmed reports of Israeli airstrikes on Hizbullah posts inside Syria.

Why isn;t the lebanese army deployed on the southern border? And why isn't the LAF planting similar devices to spy on the israeli enemy?
