Lebanon has arrested 32 people suspected of spying for Israel: judicial official to AFP

BEIRUT: Lebanon has arrested 32 people in recent months on suspicion of providing Israel with information on Hezbollah that facilitated strikes on the Iran-backed militant group, a judicial official told AFP on Thursday. More than a year of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah including two months of open war saw Israel pummel the group’s arsenal and commanders, and it has kept up strikes since a November truce. Requesting anonymity, the official said that “at least 32 people have been arrested on suspicion of collaborating with Israel, six of them before the ceasefire.”
