Beirut, July 04: Lebanese military intelligence sources have arrested two men, a father and his son, on charges of spying for Israel amid an anti-espionage crackdown in the country.
The National News Agency of Lebanon reported on Friday that the two men were arrested in Naqoura on the Lebanese-Israeli border south of the country.
The security forces said that they would continue to identify and arrest the people who spy for Israeli intelligence agencies.
Lebanon has arrested at least 60 people for spying and 100 others on suspicions of espionage since it launched its major crackdown on alleged spy networks almost three months ago. Most of the detainees were reportedly equipped with high-tech spying equipment.
Security forces in Lebanon say they have dismantled at least 25 Israeli spy cells throughout the country this year.
