| Lebanon man gets life for Israel spying |
| 2009-08-03 |
| [Haaretz Defense] A military court in Lebanon on Saturday sentenced a man to life in prison for spying for Israel and giving it information about Hezbollah, The Associated Press quoted Lebanese judicial officials as saying. The officials added that the court also sentenced him for entering Israel and using forged documents, according to the news agency. They were quoted as adding that the man denied transporting Israeli agents to and from Lebanon. The man, who is in custody, can appeal Saturday's verdict, The Associated Press reported. Lebanon considers itself at a state of war with Israel and bans its citizens from holding any kind of contact with Israeli citizens or visiting the country. Lebanese authorities have made dozens of arrests of people suspected of collaborating with Israel in recent months and filed preliminary charges. The crackdown began earlier this year. |
