The Lebanese army has arrested six more people on suspicion of spying for Israel, according to a security source.
The suspects, arrested in four raids this week, were being questioned about providing Israel with information on Hizbullah members. Some of the suspects were found to have sophisticated communication devices in their possession.
On Wednesday, Lebanon’s military prosecutor indicted three Lebanese with spying for Israel as part of an espionage investigation lasting nearly a year in which at least 27 suspects have been detained.
Hizbullah, backed by Iran and Syria, has called for the death penalty for all suspects convicted of spying for Israel.
The wave of arrests began in April 2009 with the detention of a former brigadier general of the general security directorate.
