Hezbollah members seen stealing Israeli surveillance tech from border tower

Military says suspects posed no threat to residents of nearby town of Metula. The incident is the latest in series of terror group ‘provocations’

Hezbollah activists climbed an Israeli military tower on the border and stole surveillance equipment, new footage from a Wednesday flareup along the frontier showed.

Images and videos posted to social media on Wednesday and Thursday showed a number of men climbing on a surveillance structure, which Israel maintains is on its side of the border, placing flags, and tearing down military cameras, which they carry off intact.

The Israel Defense Forces said in a statement Thursday that a number of suspects climbed on the security barrier near the northern town of Metula, “while trying to carry out provocations toward IDF forces and sabotage infrastructure in the area.”
