Sudan has captured a vulture with Israeli spying equipment attached to it in the western Darfur region

Sudan has captured a vulture with Israeli spying equipment attached to it in the western Darfur region, Sudanese media said.

The media reported on Thursday that Darfur authorities found Israeli Park Services GPS chip attached to the bird.

The vulture was on an espionage mission for the Zionist regime, the media stated, adding that the bird had a leg band with labels that read in Hebrew, “Israel Nature Service” and “Hebrew University, Jerusalem.”

The equipment fastened to the vulture was capable of taking photos and sending them back to the occupying entity.

However, Israeli National Parks Service has denied the reports and said that both the GPS chip and the device were used by ecologists to track migration.
