According to the report, which comes two days before Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is scheduled to visit, Israeli intelligence services requested one of the members of the cell supply information on missing Israel Air Force navigator Ron Arad in return for a large sum of money.
The man stayed in contact with his operators through telephone and electronic mail.
Lebanon labeled the cell as “extremely dangerous.” The group was initially revealed on August 12 when an individual admitted during his interrogation that he had been cooperating with Israeli intelligence services since 1996.
Two weeks laters another individual was arrested as a result of a prolonged interrogation. Lebanese officials suspect he was also searching for clues on Ron Arad. The detainee was in telephone contact with his operators and scheduled to meet with one in a European capital, yet the meeting never happened. A week and a half ago another individual was detained, also suspected of cooperating with Israeli intelligence.
seems there are morec isaeli spies in lebanon then not most be a major economic source for the state
I don’t think that there is anything to look for. When Hizballa capture two soldiers a few years ago, they killed them rather soon. Ron Arad was captured over 20 years ago.
Hope there is a good one to kill the
