'Israeli spying devices' found in Lebanon

Tel Aviv, 17 Dec – (ANA) - The Lebanese army has said it has dismantled two Israeli spy systems planted in the mountains above Beirut.

The army said it was alerted to the long-range surveillance devices by the Shia Islamist movement, Hezbollah. One of the devices bore writing in Hebrew.

Meanwhile, an explosion in the southern port of Sidon late on Wednesday sparked reports of a possible Israeli attempt to destroy a third device there.

Israel denied any involvement, saying there had been "no unusual activity". (ANA)
