’Israeli’ Spies Arrested in South Lebanon

Local Editor

Two Lebanese and a Syrian were arrested for spying for "Israel", the General Security announced Sunday, scoring a new success in the relentless battle between Lebanese authorities and "Israeli" spy networks.

A General Security statement said R.A., a Syrian national, his Lebanese wife S.Sh., and H.M., another Lebanese national, confessed that on the request of their recruiters, they gathered information on specific security officials and targets in Lebanon, while taking pictures and videos of "sensitive" areas in the south and sending them to "Israel".

The statement said the arrests were the result of intensive and thorough searches that lasted months.

The three suspected spies were referred to the relevant judiciary after completing investigations with the Military Prosecution under the supervision of Military Prosecutor Saqr Saqr.

Security sources said the arrest was made around 10 days ago. Mobile phones, electronic devices, a computer and documents were confiscated in their possession.

Sources familiar with the investigation said they are focusing on uncovering the identity of other people involved in the spy network.

It is worth mentioning that several "Israeli" spy networks had been uncovered in the country in recent years in which the army and the resistance dismantled or destroyed several spy devices found in the south.
