Israel Flies Spy Balloon over Mays al-Jabal after Fire Flare

Israel sent a “spy balloon” on Monday over the border town of Mays al-Jabal one day after a border flare between Hizbullah and Israel sent security concerns high, the National News Agency reported.

NNA said “Israel launched early Monday a spy hot air balloon near al-Assi area over Mays al-Jabal village close to the borders of the occupied territories.”

Israel and Hizbullah exchanged fire on Sunday along the Lebanese border after a week of rising tensions, sparking fears of an escalation and prompting concern from world powers.
