The incident took place in the Bint Jbeil district of southern Lebanon after Hezbollah members discovered the spying device, according to Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV, AFP reported on Friday.
The report added that the device was planted to eavesdrop on Hezbollah’s telecommunications network.
Israel violates Lebanon’s airspace on an almost daily basis, claiming that the over-flights serve surveillance purposes.
Lebanon’s government, the Hezbollah resistance movement, and the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) have repeatedly cited Israel’s air surveillance flights over Lebanon as clear violations of UN Resolution 1701 and the country’s sovereignty.
UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which brokered a ceasefire in the war of aggression Israel launched against Lebanon in 2006, calls on Tel Aviv to respect Beirut’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
In 2009, Lebanon filed a complaint with the United Nations, presenting over 7,000 documents pertaining to Israeli violations of Lebanese airspace and territory.
