Prosecutor Charges 3 with Spying for Israel
Military Prosecutor Saqr Saqr charges three Lebanese for spying for Israel.
They were identified as Ahmed Shibli, Jeryis Elias Farah and his brother, Jean, who remains at large.
Saqr referred them to military examining magistrate Rashid Mizher, demanding he issues arrest warrants for the three.
Saqr also charged, upon a request from military examining magistrate Samih al-Hajj, Mohammed Awad, Ali Mantash, Robert Kfouri – all members of what has become known as the first Israel-linked spy network — as well as Hasan Shehab and Shawqi Abbas who belong to the second Israeli espionage cell.
In a related development, security forces have arrested Maryam Mohammed Mousa, 31, who works at a pharmacy in the border town of Khiam, Jaafar Halawi, 38, who owns a butchery in nearby Kfar Kila, and W.M., 35, an accountant at Marjayoun hospital. The suspects were accused of spying for Israel.
