The Lebanese army has announced that it had discovered an Israeli espionage device and removed two earthen berms erected by the Israeli military in a border area in southern Lebanon.
According to a statement issued by the Lebanese Army Command’s Orientation Directorate, the device was discovered during ongoing engineering survey operations in the southern regions.
A specialised military unit discovered an Israeli enemy espionage device camouflaged and equipped with a camera on the outskirts of the village of Blida-Marjayoun in southeastern Lebanon, the statement said.
“The unit dismantled the device and also removed two earthen berms that the enemy had erected in the villages of Blida and Mays al-Jabal – Marjayoun.”
The statement noted that the Lebanese army continues to monitor the situation in coordination with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, amid ongoing Israeli violations of Lebanon’s sovereignty and security, particularly in the south.
The developments come amid an ongoing ceasefire agreement between Hezbollah and Israel, brokered by the United States and France, which has been in effect since Nov. 27, 2024.
The deal ended more than a year of clashes between the two sides, triggered by the war in Gaza.
Despite the agreement, the Israeli military continues to carry out occasional strikes in Lebanon. (Xinhua/NAN)
