Hezbollah claims air force bombed south Lebanese surveillance site
2012-07-02


Israeli air force jets bombed a Hezbollah surveillance installation in southern Lebanon Monday morning, Lebanese news outlet LBC reported.

The news described the installation that the IAF allegedly destroyed as a “wireless tapping device” situated near the villages of az-Zrariye and Tair Filsay.

LBC quoted Hezbollah responding to the alleged attack, saying the “al-Zrariyah blast resulted from Israel’s remote detonation of an explosive device installed on the Resistance’s wire line.”

The IDF SpokespersonÂ’s office had no comment on the report.

#3  Debka says no.

DEBKAfile's Western intelligence sources in Lebanon refuted the Hizballah al Manar TV claim that an Israeli jet blew up a spy device located on a Hizballah telecommunications cable laid by Iranian experts between the southern towns of Zrariyeh and Tayr Filsay in the region of the Litani River.  It was blown by a self-detonating device operated by remote control, they said, although they allowed that it could have been the work of an Israeli drone operating from Israeli air space or out at sea. No comment has come from Israel.

The sources said the cable linked the device to Hizballah’s southern district headquarters at Maaroub near Tyre. The militiamen who regularly inspect the device checked on an object apparently attached to the section buried one meter underground.

#2  that sounds like a Paleo News release. The IAF planes swooped down and installed an "explosive device installed on the ResistanceÂ’s wire line"?
