Lebanon dismantles 25 Israeli spy cells

Amid an ongoing crackdown on active espionage networks in Lebanon, Israeli cells are being dismantled one after the other throughout the country.

Citing senior army sources, Lebanese daily An-Nahar reported Friday that 25 Israeli spy cells have been uncovered this year.

Ten more people were charged with espionage activities on Friday, four of which are already in custody while the other six remain at large.

The sources said the army also arrested a three-member spy network last week in the country. According to the sources the network might have been "the most dangerous" spy cell with "highly developed techniques techniques".

Two others were also arrested on suspicion of spying in the southern town of Ain Qana earlier this week.

So far, Lebanon has charged at least 55 people for spying and has arrested almost 100 others on suspicion of espionage since it launched a major crackdown on spy networks almost two months ago.
