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 enemy’s attempt at technical espionage, foiled by [Hezbollah], is part of Israel’s continuous attacks on the telecommunications network. This is a violation of [Lebanon’s] sovereignty and an attempt to jeopardize the safety and security of the Lebanese,” Hezbollah said in a statement.   

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