Lebanese colonel charged with spying for Israel
BEIRUT — Lebanon’s military court on Wednesday charged a colonel with spying for Israel, a judicial source said, bringing to four the number of active duty soldiers arrested on charges of espionage.
“Judge Sakr Sakr charged Colonel Antoine Abu Jaoudeh with spying for the (Israeli) enemy, meeting with Israeli Mossad agents abroad and providing them with information on the resistance (Hezbollah) and army in exchange for money from 2006 until his arrest” earlier this month, the source told AFP.
More than 100 people have been arrested on suspicion of spying for Israel since April 2009, including members of the security forces and telecom employees.
Many of the charge sheets accuse the suspects of having helped Israel identify targets during its devastating 2006 war with Shiite militant Hezbollah.
The most high-profile arrest came earlier this month, when Fayez Karam, a former army general and top member of a Christian party allied with Hezbollah, was charged with espionage and providing the Jewish state with information on its arch-foe Hezbollah.
Five Lebanese have been sentenced to death for spying for the Mossad so far, including two who were handed the death sentence Tuesday.
Lebanon and Israel remain technically in a state of war, and convicted spies face life in prison with hard labour or the death penalty if found guilty of contributing to Lebanese loss of life.
