Lebanon Claims It Arrested Israeli Spy

Lebanese sources said over the weekend that an Israeli spy had been arrested. The sources, quoted by the Al-Miadin media outlet, said that the alleged spy had been arrested by Hezbollah, and was involved in various operations, including informing Israel about Lebanese military and defense matters, and arranging for the murder of Hezbollah terrorists. He is also accused of gathering data about the Iraqi government from his brother, also an Israeli spy, and transmitting it to Israel. The Israeli government had no comment on the story.
