Report: 3 Hizbullah officials suspected collaborating with Israel
[Ma'an] Lebanon's Internal Security Forces have informed Hizbullah of the names of three senior party members suspected of collaborating with Israel, Lebanese media reported.

According to the Lebanese daily An-Nahar, quoting an anonymous source, Hezbollah official Wafiq Safa was told of the three suspects' involvement.

"[Hizbullah] is well aware of this matter," the source told the daily.

The news follows reports that a Lebanese national was detained on Thursday, suspected of spying for Israel through his employment with a telecommunications company.

Hizbullah chief Hassan Nasrallah called for the execution of all collaborators with Israel on Friday, and said his party could not be penetrated by Israeli agents, the online news site NOW Lebanon reported.

Meanwhile, speaking on the Hezbollah-run satellite channel Al-Manar, Lebanese MP Walid Jumblatt said "Spying is a dangerous thing and all spies must be executed. Enough with some civil society calls on the need to abolish the death penalty for the sake of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership because the country's security is more important than that partnership," Lebanon's news site Nahrnet reported.

#2 I guess they are cleaning house, trying to cement a particular political base.

I actually agree with him.
