Hezbollah's Al-Manar news station claimed on Tuesday that Israel blew up a surveillance device in southern Lebanon's Marge Ayoun region, using two different demolition charges while work was being done on a nearby road.
According to the Lebanese TV channel Al Mayadeen, the device exploded and injured two people working on the nearby road. Lebanon's official news agency also reported that the device's explosion lightly injured two civilians. The Lebanese media emphasized that the device was remotely detonated.
Reports in Lebanese media regarding Israeli surveillance devices are not uncommon. Last September, for instance, Lebanese news sources reported that an Israeli listening device was found near the town of Adloun in the country's south. The reports said that the device was hidden in a garden, and that Hezbollah was the one who worked to blow it up.
