Lebanese man gets life sentence for Israel spying
Military court sentences man to life in jail for 'giving Israel information about Hezbollah'; man also sentenced for entering Israel and using forged documents
Judicial officials say a Lebanese military court has sentenced a man to life in prison for spying for Israel and giving it information about the terrorist Hezbollah group.
The officials add that the court also sentenced him for entering Israel and using forged documents. They add that the man denied transporting Israeli agents to and from Lebanon.
The man, who is in custody, can appeal Saturday's verdict.
Lebanon considers itself at a state of war with Israel and bans any kind of contact with Israeli citizens or visiting the Jewish state.
Lebanese authorities have made dozens of arrests of people suspected of collaborating with Israel in recent months and filed preliminary charges. The crackdown began earlier this year.
