An Israeli spy device was discovered Wednesday in the outskirts of the southern town of Bani Hayyan in the Marjeyoun district, media reports said.

Hizbullah's al-Manar television said the device was found in the town's al-Arid area.
It said it consisted of “a camera fixed inside an artificial rock and wired to a number of batteries.”
Later in the day, state-run National News Agency said the device was found during excavation works, adding that it was dismantled by the army after a security cordon was imposed in the area.
NNA noted that the site had been an Israeli military post prior to Israel's withdrawal in the year 2000.
Several similar devices were discovered in the South in recent years, some of them booby-trapped.
