Lebanon security forces arrests Israeli spy in Bakaa

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): In a separate development on Friday, the national police and security forces of Lebanon announced that it had arrested an Israeli agent on espionage charges in the western Bekaa region.

The Lebanon’s Internal Security Forces Directorate said in a statement that the “person had communicated with the intelligence service of the Israeli enemy,” and the forces had managed to arrest him, without identifying his name.

“By interrogating him, he admitted that at the beginning of 2019, he sent an e-mail to several Israeli security services asking to work for them. A person contacted him and offered to work with him by collecting information, in addition to assigning him other tasks in exchange for sums of money and he agreed,” the statement said.

“And his operator trained him and asked him to collect certain information, so he carried out his requests and provided the enemy with the required information,” it added.

Lebanese sources reported last year that Lebanese forces had identified and arrested a man named Kinda al-Khatib for his links to the Israeli regime.
