Syrian opposition websites posted video of an “Israeli espionage device,” which in actuality is a device used for atmospheric measurements by the Israel Meteorological Service.
Nir Stav, Deputy Director of the Meteorological Service, explained, “We release meteorological balloons twice a day, every day. Every helium balloon is attached to a box, in which there is a thermometer, pressure gauge, and moisture gauge.”
The Transportation Ministry, which oversees the meteorological service, added, “It is a tool designed for regular weather tests,” and other countries perform such testing procedures as well.

If it makes them feel good let them think what they think.
It’s almost as dangerous as the spy bird.
Everything Israel makes (bird tags, meteorlological packages) is for spying.
Everything the Arabs/Iranians make (rockets, chemical weapons, nuclear weapons, suicide bombs) is for peaceful puposes.
Makes sense.
