Israel starts to install sensors along Lebanon border

Israel’s army said it would start drilling to install ground sensors along its border with Lebanon yesterday, a year after an operation to destroy tunnels dug across the frontier. “We are deploying a defensive system into the ground.. in various locations” along the border, spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conricus told journalists. Work went underway yesterday at the Israeli kibbutz town of Misgav Am, he said, to deploy the new noise-detecting technology. The move comes a year after Israel concluded a weeks-long operation to destroy tunnels it accused Lebanese Shia group Hezbollah of building.
