Alwaght- Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, has dismantled an Israeli spying device in the northern part of the besieged Gaza Strip.
An unnamed source told Arabic-language Safa news agency on Saturday that a digital camera had been incorporated into the device, itself hidden inside a fake rock.
The source added that Hamas fighters found the spying device in the farming land of Abu Samra region, which lies north of Beit Lahia city, the previous night.
Tel Aviv regime uses different spying tactics to gather intelligence in the blockaded coastal enclave. The regime has assassinated several Hamas figures, including the group’s leaders, officials and activists.
In August 2015, Hamas captured a dolphin equipped with spying devices, including cameras, off the shore of the Gaza Strip.
The mammal was reportedly being used to track Hamas naval commandos’ movements and training in the water.
The Gaza Strip has been under an Israeli siege since June 2007. The blockade has caused a decline in living standards as well as unprecedented levels of unemployment and unrelenting poverty.
Last month, Lebanese government forces have found and dismantled an Israeli spying device in the country’s southern province of Nabatieh.
Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported that the device was discovered on the outskirts of Zawtar al-Gharbiyeh (Western Zawtar) town, which lies just north of the Litani River.
On October 31, 2017, Lebanese security forces busted an espionage cell in the country, whose members were collecting sensitive information and passing it to the Israeli spy agency Mossad.
