| Lebanon Says It Arrested 'Israeli Collaborator' |
| 2014-11-23 |
| [IsraelTimes] The Lebanese army reportedly arrested a man who allegedly collaborated with Israeli secret agents operating in the country, security officials in Beirut said Saturday. According to Saudi daily newspaper Okaz, the man, dubbed by Lebanese officials as F. Yassin, held covert meetings with Israeli spies in a tourist resort which he owned in the countryâs south. The south Lebanon region is a major stronghold of Shiite terrorist group Hezbollah, and many of the organizationâs primary bases are located in the area. The Saudi daily further reported that the suspect is believed to possess key information regarding the whereabouts and undercover operations of Israeli agents in Lebanon, especially in the countryâs south. The report was not confirmed by Israel. In a speech earlier this month, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah stated that his group was âfully ready in southern Lebanon,â in an apparent reference to the possibility of future conflict with Israel. Addressing thousands of Lebanese Shiites in a rare public appearance for the Ashura holiday in southern Beirut, Naharnet reported, he said the groupâs activities fighting in support of the Syrian regime had not affected its battle readiness. Hezbollahâs campaign in Syria has cost the group over 1,000 fighters, according to some reports. |
