Man Accused of Spying for Israel Referred to Judiciary

A Lebanese man was referred to the judiciary on Thursday on charges of spying for Israel, the army said.

 

“The Intelligence Directorate has referred Lebanese citizen Suheil Hussein Qaddoura to the relevant judicial authorities over his ties to the Israeli enemy,” an army statement said.
Qaddoura provided Israel with “information about the infrastructure in the Bekaa region,” the statement added.
Lebanese authorities had launched a national crackdown on Israeli espionage rings in 2009 which resulted in the arrest of more than 100 people.
Lebanon and Israel remain technically in a state of war and convicted spies can face the death penalty.
