Hezbollah-tied individual arrested on suspicion of spying for Israel in Lebanon

An individual with close ties to Hezbollah was arrested in Beirut on suspicion of spying for Israel. According to a judicial source, the person provided intelligence that enabled Israel to carry out targeted killings of several high-ranking Hezbollah figures, including Fuad Shukr and Ibrahim Aqil, both of whom were assassinated in 2024. Shukr was linked to historical attacks such as the 1983 bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, while Aqil was involved in the 1983 U.S. Marine barracks bombing. The suspect reportedly traveled frequently between Lebanon, Iraq, and Turkey, meeting with Israeli intelligence operatives and sharing information about Hezbollah targets. The arrest is part of a broader crackdown on suspected spies operating in Lebanon.
