Israeli forces removed on Wednesday a spy device they planted earlier in a disputed area in the southern neighborhood of Kroum al-Sharqi, the National News Agency reported on Wednesday.

An Israeli infantry patrol approached the location and removed the device amid heavy military presence in the region, NNA said.

Last week, Israeli forces crossed the electronic fence in the outskirts of the southern border town of Mays al-Jabal in Kroum al-Sharqi and planted solar powered spy camera and a transmission instrument.

The development comes amid high tensions between Israel and Hizbullah that follow an exchange of threats and amid unconfirmed reports of Israeli airstrikes on Hizbullah posts inside Syria.
