Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Spy Network Working for Israel Busted in South
2015-11-09
Given the risks, it's astonishing -- and comforting -- that so many in the region are willing to keep the Jewish nation informed.
[AnNahar] General Security announced on Sunday the arrest of a spy network working for Israel.

It said that it tossed in the calaboose
Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please!
a Syrian, his Lebanese wife, and another Lebanese national in the South on espionage charges.

The detainees confessed to gathering information on various security and military figures for the purpose of liquidation.

They photographed roads and other "sensitive" areas in the South, said the General Security in a statement.

The images and films were then sent to their superiors.

Military Examining Magistrate Judge Saqr Saqr oversaw the investigation and they have since been referred to the concerned judiciary.

Efforts are ongoing to apprehend all members of the network.
The Times of Israel adds this perspective:

In late September, Lebanese soldiers released a video, which they claimed showed a rock concealing an Israeli spy camera in the country's south.

One man was incarcerated
Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up!
in August by Hezbollah for spying for Israel, and was handed to Lebanese security services.

Last December, Hezbollah detained a senior party official on allegations of spying for Israel and "sabotaging security operations" abroad.

Between April 2009 and 2014, Lebanese authorities detained more than 100 people accused of spying for Israel, most of them army members or telecommunications employees.
