Israeli enemy defeated again, after discovery of two espionage systems in Lebanon.
Once again, the Israeli enemy was defeated by Hezbollah, this time in the war of brain…
The Israeli enemy has rushed to destroy an Israeli spying installation at sea off the coast of Sidon, after the Lebanese Army uncovered with the Resistance Israeli spy systems in the Sannine and Barouk regions.
Meanwhile, Zionist experts expressed surprise at the ability of what they called the anti-espionage unit within Hezbollah, and the developed capabilities it possesses, which led to the discovery of the Israeli espionage systems despite all attempts to hide them.
Lebanon announced Wednesday that the Israeli spy cameras it had uncovered on mountaintops in the center of the country were the most advanced uncovered in Lebanon to date. And on Thursday, the Lebanese army released incriminating photos of the equipment which include Hebrew writing. According to the Lebanese army, the spying gear was planted in the mountains and enabled observation of extensive areas. The gear also includes a production tag from Israel.
The army said the equipment was discovered on Mount el-Barouk at a height of 1,715 meters, and is comprised of two artificial boulders. One boulder contained gear for transmitting and receiving signals, which covered most of Lebanon’s western and central valleys up to the Syrian border as well as many villages in the south up to the border with the occupied territories. According to the reports, the equipment is Israeli-made and is capable of securing communication between the wireless stations scattered throughout Lebanon and various points in the occupied territories. The other boulder contained a large stash of batteries which would have provided power for the equipment for a number of years. The Lebanese army reiterated its warning to residents not to touch "suspicious objects."
Yedioth Ahronoth revealed Friday morning that Beam Systems, the company whose name appears on the device, was active in the 1980s – strengthening estimates that the uncovered equipment is not new.
Yet, Israel didn’t seem to be happy with the new discovery. While it has declined to comment on the reports, Israeli daily Haaretz said that the discovery of further supposed Israeli spy activity in Lebanon serves Hezbollah interests by reminding the Lebanese public that Israel, not Hezbollah, is the real enemy.
Israeli experts also said that the discovery of the systems in Barouk and Sannine need very developed systems that seem to be in the hands of Hezbollah. They linked the new discovery with the recent arrests of tens of spies who collaborated with the Israeli Mossad for long years.
“It’s probable that the discovery of the systems came after Hezbollah’s anti-espionage unit was provided with developed systems,” one expert said. “There is a real progress in Hezbollah’s capabilities, mainly on the intelligence level,” he added. “Hezbollah may have discovered the systems since a while and made use of it. It’s also possible that Hezbollah might have succeeded in entering wrong data to mislead and delude Israel before moving the systems.”
A former official in the Israeli Mossad said in turn that there was a war of brains taking place between Hezbollah and Israel. “It’s not new to know that Israel was spying on Lebanon through various tools, and not only through spies and agents. The uncovered systems are a part of these tools.”
Israeli sources, meanwhile, admitted there were specialized units within the Israeli army to supervise the “enemy states” in depth.
DRILLS IN PREPARATION FOR NEW WAR WITH HEZBOLLAH
In the meantime, the Israeli army has completed one of the most extensive drills it has held in recent years in preparation for a possible war with Lebanon, Ynet news reported Friday.
Two combat units were involved in the drill that ended on Thursday. The collaborative training event took place in the Golan Heights, it said. Thousands of soldiers and hundreds of armored vehicles dealt with simulated antitank missiles, rockets and mortar shells – as well as motorcycle-riding Hezbollah operatives.
"The training facilitated a simulation of an operational environment, which requires the commanders to talk among themselves, for example to coordinate fire… These are the things that we expect to happen during combat," a senior officer told Ynet.
The senior officer said the intensive exercise and the Israeli army's new technology will boost troops' capabilities on the battlefield. "It is now possible to shoot a larger number of targets over a shorter period of time," he said.
