"Three suspected Israeli spy devices have been blown up in south Lebanon, two detonated remotely by the Israeli army and one destroyed by the Lebanese army, a military official said on Sunday.

"One explosion occurred before midnight (2100 GMT) in a hilly part of the Hula border zone and a second happened in the same district (on Sunday) morning," the official told AFP.

It "seems the two detonations were triggered by Israel which exploded two spying devices it had planted in the sector a long while ago," she said.

Israel "feared for one reason or another that they might be discovered and proceeded to destroy them by exploding them remotely," the official said.

Lebanese troops "located another device and exploded it on Sunday morning" after going to the area on Saturday night with UNIFIL peacekeepers, she added."
