And the Death sentence goes to...Rafeh and Khattab, two Lebanese citizens of which the first is supposed to work for Lebanon's security not the contrary.

Mahmoud Qassem Rafeh, a retired member of Lebanon's Internal Security Forces was sentenced on Thursday to death for having spied for the "Israeli" enemy and for his involvement in the murder of brothers Mahmoud and Nidal Majzoub, members of the Islamic Jihad group. 

Rafeh, 63, was convicted of "collaboration and espionage on behalf of the "Israeli" enemy," according to the verdict handed down by the military tribunal.
He was also convicted of involvement in the 2006 car bomb murder in the southern coastal town of Sidon of the Majzoub brothers. 

A second defendant, Hussein Suleiman Khattab, was convicted in absentia. 

Under Lebanese law, they have the right to appeal. At the same time, any death sentence must be signed both by the country's prime minister and its president to be carried out.
Rafeh remains accused of the murder of Hizbullah officials Ali Hasan Dib in 1998 and Ali Hussein Saleh in 2003, as well as the 2002 murder of Jihad Jibril, son of Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command leader Ahmad Jibril. 

Rafeh was arrested in 2006 and confessed last year to having collaborated with "Israeli" intelligence agents from 1993. 

More than 70 people were arrested in Lebanon in 2009 in a crackdown on espionage rings, including a retired general and a policeman.
