Palestinian security in Gaza says spying devices found in displacement camps

The Palestinian security services in Gaza have in recent days seized Israeli spying equipment planted in a shelter for displaced families in the southern Gaza Strip, a Palestinian resistance media platform reported on its Telegram channel yesterday.

The platform quoted a security officer as saying that “the [Israeli] occupation intelligence had disguised the seized spying devices with different shapes, so they appear as part of the surrounding and natural environment including in the form of a rock.”

The officer suggested the Israeli intelligence planted the spying devices via Quadcopter drones, calling on everyone “not to tamper with any suspicious devices and to contact the security officers immediately.”

The security services in Gaza called on people to be vigilant of any objects, structures or items in the vicinity of their tents, homes, or rooftops, and to periodically comb the corridors and roofs to ensure that there are no changes.

Israel has been waging a devastating war on the besieged Gaza Strip since October last year, which has claimed the lives of over 41,500 Palestinians and wounded and displaced tens of thousands more.
