Hezbollah MP Hussein al-Moussawi said Thursday that Lebanese spies working for Israel have had a hand in the results that have emerged after the July 2006 war, stressing: “They should all be hanged to put a stop to this shameful phenomenon.”
His comment comes after Lebanese security authorities arrested on Monday a second employee ( Tarek al-Rabaa ) of state-owned mobile telecom firm Alfa on suspicion of spying for Israel.
Lebanese security authorities described Rabaa as a telecoms engineer and said he was “more dangerous” than Charbel Qazzi, another employee who was arrested last month and was referred to a military court this week. If convicted he could face the death penalty.
Moussawi warned that those who defend the spies will only show Lebanon as a divided country.
He asked: “How can we turn into a unified national society if we are unable to confront those who have violated national principles?”
The MP therefore urged the need to establish a capable state with a national bloc comprised of the army, people, and Resistance.
Lebanon began its own crackdown on suspected Israeli spy networks in April last year and has arrested about 70 people.
