This one is surreal. A report in the
Sunday Times of London (where else?) claims that IDF's Shayetet 13 planted
listening devices in rocks in the Syrian port of Tartus to track the movements of Russian troops.
According to the report, the materials were
planted under cover of darkness by the IDF’s Shayetet 13 naval
commandos, who spent several hours on the island installing the
equipment and ensuring that it worked. The commandos had allegedly
visited the island previously to collect information on the local rocks,
so that the equipment could be properly camouflaged.
“Any unusual activity by the Russians in
Tartus, such as a sudden evacuation of families and non-essential
personnel, would be good indicators for the Israelis that something big
was happening,” The Times quoted a defense source as saying.
...
Earlier this month, Syrian state-run TV
released pictures of the devices Damascus said were designed to
photograph, register and transfer data.
The television footage aired on Syrian TV
showed what looked like a camera and a satellite dish, and other objects
that resembled rocks. Plastic boxes resembling batteries and cables
were also displayed.
