Lebanon’s resistance movement of Hezbollah has captured a Lebanese national on charges of spying for Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency.
The arrested spy currently resides in Hezbollah’s security compound in the city of Baalbek, a Lebanese TV channel reported on Wednesday.
The man identified by Lebanese media as Talal Khalil reportedly disclosed information to Israel about security bases belonging to the Hezbollah resistance movement.
More than 100 people have been arrested in Lebanon on suspicion of cooperating with Mossad since April 2009, including members of the security forces and telecommunications employees.
Tel Aviv has launched an intelligence war against Hezbollah following its defeat during the 33-day war against the Lebanese resistance movement in 2006.
