Lebanese government forces have dismantled an Israeli spying device in the country's southern province of Nabatieh, close to the border between the Arab country and the Israeli-occupied territories.
The Lebanese Army announced in a statement on Saturday that a specialized unit of the army had discovered the espionage equipment with a hidden camera fitted in while carrying out an engineering survey operation on the outskirts of the southern town of Yaroun.
The military urged residents to avoid suspicious objects, not to touch them, and to immediately report any findings to the nearest military post to ensure their safety.
Following significant losses sustained over nearly 14 months of war and the failure to meet its objectives in the offensive against Lebanon, Israel was compelled to accept a ceasefire with Hezbollah, which took effect on November 27.
Since then, Israeli forces have been launching attacks on Lebanon, including airstrikes, in breach of the ceasefire.
On January 27, Lebanon announced its decision to extend the ceasefire with Israel until February 18.
However, Israel continues to maintain its occupation of five significant regions in southern Lebanon, namely Labbouneh, Mount Blat, Owayda Hill, Aaziyyeh, and Hammamis Hill, all situated near the border.
Lebanon has condemned the continued presence of Israeli military forces as a violation of the ceasefire agreement and the established timeline for withdrawal. Senior officials in Beirut have expressed their commitment to take "all necessary measures" to remove the occupying troops from the nation.
