The eagle was captured by amateur hunters in the the town of Ashqout in the Keserwan district of the country, which is north east of Beirut.
The eagle was carrying an implanted receiver and a brass ring was found around its foot with markings in English that connected the suspect to Tel Aviv University, according to the report.
Hezbollah TV broadcast an image of the “alleged spy” saying that a receiver had been located on its body.
“Israel has used spy birds in the past: in Saudi Arabia in 2010, in Turkey in 2012 and in Egypt, in 2013 and all were found to be used as listening devices” Al-Manar reported.
Turkish authorities detained a bird this past summer on suspicion it was spying for Israel, but freed it after X-rays showed it was not embedded with surveillance equipment.
The kestrel aroused suspicion because of a metal ring on its foot carrying the words “24311 Tel Avivunia Israel”, prompting residents in the village of Altinayva to hand it over to the local governor.

Are they going to hang the bird or stone it?
bad bird what will they do next
Why would Israel put “Tel Aviv” on a spy bird’s foot? Sounds phoney.
They probably never heard of academic research with animals. Tracking eagles to learn more about their behaviors seem to explain why Tel Aviv was stamped on the tag.
These “people” are such nuts, so wrapped up in Jew hatred they can barely think straight.
This story is for the birds.
while lebanon is busy with birds is israel busy with other stuff!!!
there giving them what to do!!!
eat it fast food!!!
If we ever find out Israel is using birds as spies, we need to remember to apologize for making fun of these people.
We should send them those annoying spy cats instead and the attack flies too.
The truth is, they don’t understand the tagging and research being done on migration patterns. They only care about terrorism and don’t care to learn about anything scientific or productive, only destructive activities.
highly disappointed in the mossad.this spy should have been supplied with a cyanide pill to avoid being captured alive
I think the eagle isn’t the only one who was “bird-brained” in this story.
It became in style in the middle east to catch birds and accuse them for joining the Moosad 🙂
Well cats are naturally sneaky, training them as spies would be easy.
Nebach, these arabs are totally losing it!
One of two things are possible: (1) Israel has found a way to train wild animals to perform spy missions; or (2) Hezbollah has really gone off the deep end. Either way, they have reason to worry.
They need to get PETA involved and settle this. I think it’s all loshen harah.
Just wondering… are they going to hang the bird as they do in Iran to the spies?
I found a bird with a metal Hisachdus clip. who should I turn it over to?
How much you wanna bet the people of that town wrote that tag on that bird by themselves! It’s the blood libels revisited
