Lebanon detains man close to Hezbollah for allegedly spying for Israel: judicial official
BEIRUT: Lebanese authorities have arrested a man close to Hezbollah, accusing him of spying for Israel and of providing intel that led to the killing of commanders in the Iran-backed group, a judicial official told AFP on Tuesday.
The official, who is following the investigation and requested anonymity, said “a high-level Israeli agent was arrested last week in Beirut.”
He alleged that the suspect had been “involved in providing the Israeli side with precise information that led to the assassination of Hezbollah officials, including four top-tier security leaders.”
“He was very close to commanders in Hezbollah, and possessed a wide range of information due to his relationship with them,” the official added.
