Israel Attacks Southern Lebanon, Destroys Discovered Surveillance Device
Reports: Device Attached to Hezbollah Communication Wires
An Israeli warplane, or an unmanned drone by some accounts, attacked a site in southern Lebanon today, destroying what Hezbollah officials say was a surveillance device they had just uncovered attached to their communications network.
The attack was near the town of Zraiyeh, and the devices included a solar powered battery. It is just the latest in a string of reports that Israel installed spying devices in southern Lebanon during their most recent invasion.
Lebanon’s military also confirmed the blasts, but said that rather than a missile strike, as was initially reported, the explosives were attached to the devices, and detonated remotely when Israel found that they had been discovered.
The UN confirmed a similar detonation of a discovered spy device in 2009. The UN forces inside Lebanon said they were “aware” of today’s report, but declined to provide further details

If it was an Israeli missile that hit southern Lebanon, Hezbullah should lob two missiles on Tel Aviv, otherwise Israel would make it a habit.

For Israel or US or NATO being able to destabilize Lebanon, it is quite possible that Israel or any other mentioned names here would be able to inter Lebanon and militarize – occupy the region, helping the Syrian “rebels” and other barbarians and even dividing the area from Syria giving it to “rebels” and calling it the Liberated Syria. They would love that…, if they could.
