The man, only identified by his initials M.T.D, is in his thirties and comes from the town of Majdal Zoun, in the Tyre district in southern Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers..., but according to village residents lives in Germany.
The report published yesterday says he comes to Lebanon periodically, rents apartments and cars in the Tyre area, uses unregistered phone numbers, and provides coordinates of specific sites to his Israeli contacts.
The man was reportedly arrested upon his arrival at Beirut airport by Hezbollah security agents.
On August 25, Lebanese authorities said they arrested a couple at Beirut airport as they were trying to flee the country, who reportedly confessed they were spying for Israel inside the country.
Such claims are made regularly, but their veracity cannot be established. Lebanese security services have arrested dozens of people over the years on suspicions of collaborating with Israel, with some receiving jail terms of up to 25 years.
Israel never comments on such allegations.
