The Spokesperson's Office of the Israel Defense Forces said Sunday evening that Hizbullah reports earlier in the day that they had found Israeli listening devices in Southern Lebanon were meant to draw attention away from last week's explosion at the home of a senior Hizbullah member in a village near Tyre.

The Shi'ite terror organization's Al-Manar television reported on Sunday morning that the Lebanese army destroyed one device and that pilotless Israeli aircraft destroyed two others for fear that they would be discovered.
