Lebanese media: Israeli Air Force destroys own spying device north of border
2019-05-28
[IsraelTimes] According to al-Mayadeen, which has ties to Hezbollah, Leb’s security forces are searching for remains after drone bombs instruments.

An Israeli aircraft on Monday struck and destroyed a spying device in Lebanese territory, a local media outlet with ties to the Hezbollah terror group reported.

According to the report in al-Mayadeen the Israeli device was bombed between Nmairiyeh and Zefta in the south of the country. It said security forces were working to locate the remains of the device.

Earlier in the day the Israeli military clashed with some 15 Lebanese nationals along the northern border, firing tear gas and stun grenades at them, after two men scaled the border fence and attempted to damage it, the army said.

According to Lebanese media, a riot broke out after Israel installed security cameras along the Blue Line, the internationally recognized dividing line between Israel and Leb, near the town of Kafr Kila.

The military said the demonstration dispersed shortly after the soldiers fired the riot-control munitions at them. There were no Lebanese injuries reported.
An earlier Times of Israel article expands on the riot:
The IDF said approximately 15 people participated in the riot, which was held near Fatima Gate, once known as the Good Fence Crossing, was used from 1982 to 2000, during Israel’s occupation of southern Leb.

Over the years, the area around Kafr Kila has seen a number of protests and festivities between Lebanese citizens and the Israeli military.

Israel and Leb do not have a formal border due to territorial disputes; however, they largely abide by the UN-recognized Blue Line between the two countries.
