SANA’s report on Thursday says the devices are designed to photograph, register and transfer data. There were no further details on the objects or the location of the find.
State-run TV aired footage of an object consisting of what looked like a camera and a satellite dish, and other objects that resembled rocks. Plastic boxes resembling batteries and cables were shown lined up in a room.
Syria and Israel are at a state of war and fought several battles over the past.
Israeli warplanes carried out an air raid near Damascus in January. U.S. officials said the target was a convoy of sophisticated Russian SA-17 anti-aircraft missiles. Syria said a research center was hit.
