Israeli Jet Blows up Spy Device in South
An Israeli jet blew up on Monday a spy device between the southern towns of Zrariyeh and Tayr Filsay, reported various media outlets.
Al-Manar television said that the attack targeted a device that was located on a Hizbullah telecommunications cable.
The party later confirmed the attack in a brief statement.
Prime Minister Najib Miqati has requested that the Army Command tackle the incident with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon command.
The western sector in southern Lebanon has since witnessed heavy overflights by Israeli warplanes above the stream of the Litani River, reported LBC television.
Hizbullah has also cordoned off the area.
In December 2011, Israel detonated a spy device it had placed on the party’s telecommunications network.
Hizbullah had said in a statement at the time that it had foiled an attempt by Israel to spy on its network through a device placed on its cable located between the towns of Srifa and Deirkifa in the South.
Lebanon filed a complaint to the United Nations over the Israeli spy device discovered in December, deeming it a “blatant violation of the country’s sovereignty and Security Council resolution 1701 and a threat to international peace and security.”
Army intelligence, in collaboration with Hizbullah, had uncovered a number of Israeli espionage devices, including one in Sannine in 2010 and another in the southern town of Shamaa in March 2011.

So, Hezbollah started a war in Beirut on May 7, 2008 so that it could have this very secure communication system that now we see Israel taps into on a regular basis and which serves as a reason for Israel to conduct over flights of Lebanon and to drop bombs on her.
And when caught with this illegal system, Hezbollah goes running to the UN with its dirty hands. Hezbollah has violated almost as many UN resolutions as Israel, yet when a problem comes, it goes running to the UN for protection and to file complaints.
Hezbollah is looking more and more like a rank amateur operation that is not even capable of maintaining its facilities to keep them up while the rest of the region is moving forward.

@bubbaman, so very childish. Daring people to come and disarm people who should not be armed at all. Is this what you want, for militias to be formed up and to start a war over weapons. We want them out of Hezbollah's hands so that we do not have this kind of instability. And Hariri is not my leader bubba, I'm in the USofA. Even if I was a Lebanese resident, not all Lebanese are sheep and have some ziam to follow around. Some of us have our own brains and think for ourselves. You should try it sometime, if you can.

Israel is definitely not Lebanon's friend, but Israel has shown no will or desire to cease Lebanon territory or implement settlements, otherwise they would've done when they occupied the south of Lebanon. Lebanon has no pending disputes with Israel (obviously until an official border is agreed between Syria and Lebanon). Saying Israel is the biggest threat is a stretch. The only threat Israel is to Lebanon is an indirect threat through their refusal to take the Palestinians back and leaving them in Lebanon. If you are looking for the biggest threat for Lebanon, that would be Iran and Syria because they meddle in Lebanon's affairs, put their own benefits and aims before anything, and completely disregard the Lebanese state and sovereignty.

mowaten your arguments are so invalid, I find it surprising you can type on a keyboard, let alone use the internet.
Whatever you said applied in a time when Lebanon and Israel were at war. You say the Resistance will do anything to restore Lebanon's dignity? Let it disarm in return of Shebaa farms. Oh, wait the Syrians still have not settled their border disputes in Shebaa. Well let the Resistance use its [worshipping] connections with the Assad regime to figure out that little problem. Had Hezbollah done all this it would have joined the ranks of Youssef Bek Karam and Amir Bashir as Lebanon's all time Heroes. But guess what? They decided to be greedy and they will be remembered as the crass of all crasses in History.

"he gave his life to the cause, he's not interested in rooftop parties and tanning on the beach." REALLY. so what is their government doing?
he is their alter ego, but times have changed and as they finally decided to drop the syrian regime, they will destroy hizbushaitan soon.
as for their telecom network: how simply they have been tapping into it! :) what a laugh, and to say this is what may 7 was about :) hahahahaha

Yo, sick man. Hezbollah doesn't get to chose what is best for our country. The people do. A referendum would quickly answer this issue.

I invite Israel to destroy the illegal telecom network on Lebanese soil since your gov cannot tackle this issue. Thank-yu for doing our job. Perhaps Israel could also give us some electricity from their nuclear power plant, another problem our gov cannot solve. Turning to outside powers to resolve our problems is now common, some turn to Iran, others to KSA or the Westernworld. We have closer neighbours LOL.

Watch out they don't take you up on that invitation, you hospitable person you....
To put it in simple terms that your pea-sized brain can understand...
ISRAEL WAS NOT BOMBING HEZBOLLAH'S TELECOM NETWORK.... ISRAEL WAS DESTROYING AN ISRAELI SPYING DEVICE, THAT ISRAEL HAD PLANTED... ON HEZBOLLAH'S TELECOM NETWORK...
Got it?
One more thing... I am ashamed of Lebanese people like you. Do you know, you are basically willing to place your hands in the hands of the israelis, the same hands that are sullied with the blood of fellow lebanese men women and children and you are not ashamed to say it.
You piece of filth! Look at the Armenians! We're talking decades later and they still refuse anything Turkish!!!!
And you PRIME SUSPECT, you miserable little excuse for humanity, you absolute maggot, you want to INVITE Israel to carry out your dirty work and you want to BUY ELECTRICITY from Israel?
You, my "fellow countryman", are the embodiment of the scum of the earth!

Motormouth (FT)....again with aggressive and arrogant posts! Hiding he is like a homeless rat. He gave his life to the cause? What cause? Defending against Israel? Fine he did but that was then and this is now. His motives have totally changed & is now part of a satanic regime that wants to rule people through intimidation and force. Dig your head out of the sand (and that goes to all you conditioned followers that still worship him)and realize that Israel is no longer a threat to Lebanese but the the real threat is the guns of your beloved thugs pointed at us. It appears to me you are a regressed individual who froze in time. Nothing wrong with that.....just pack your stuff and head to Iran.

Lebanon does not need a "Resistance" . The Iranian backward Khomeinists need a "Resistance" excuse to achieve their hegemonial agenda over Lebanon.
Hezbollah has drafted all the Lebanese, by force, to die and suffer for the interests of its masters. It is an aberration and should be stopped before it brings another disaster upon lebanon.

Let us re-evaluate how Israel remains the biggest threat to Lebanon: if it is based on the detonation of the spying devices, then it is not really a big threat to Lebanon. It is the biggest threat to Hezbollah, but not to Lebanon. Hezbollah's presence is a pretext for Israel's ongoing violations of Lebanese territories. Hezbollah is Israel's bait. No Hezbollah = No legal infiltration by IDF. Not that Israel is a saint, but any infiltration without the presence of Hezbollah could be credibly reported to the International community.
Besides it is funny how Hezbollah always pulls the 1701 card, when they are the ones who violate it in the most obvious way. FYI: the 1701 calls for the disarmament of Hezbollah. Double standards might work in Lebanon's corrupt politics, but they do not exist where reason prevails...

Since you know Israel wants the water, and you know you need the money, why don't you sell the water that Israel wants, once you become a credible member of the International community? This would be called winning, and surprisingly enough without the help of the mighty Nasrallah.
Btw what is in for Israel to destroy us, if Hezbollah did not exist? (if you still believe that the March 14 politicians were assassinated by Israel, you really need a reboot my friend)
yeah,,, file a complaint....
What about also filing a complaint about Syrians kidnapping our custom officials? what about filing a complaint about lebanese in syrian jails?
