Lebanese intelligence arrests Israeli spy network

Head of the Future Parliamentary Bloc in Lebanon MP Saad Hariri congratulated the Lebanese Army Command and the Intelligence Directorate for the great accomplishment they achieved in arresting members of the sabotage network, with ties to the Israeli intelligence, which committed a series of murders and terrorist explosions the last of which was the assassination of Martyrs Mahmoud and Nidal Majzoub in Sidon.

Hariri said "This accomplishment asserts once again the necessity of uniting efforts in order to protect Lebanon from Israeli security and non-security penetration. This accomplishment also charges the Lebanese political society with the responsibility to face such a penetration and the international community to exert pressure on Israel to prevent it from manipulating the Lebanese internal peace."

Hariri noted that the new policies adopted by the Army Command are appreciated by all the Lebanese especially that the Intelligence Directorate is once again holding the responsibilities entrusted to it. It was able to uncover a network which was working in the Lebanese arena since the nineties.

This proves that if this directorate assumed the missions entrusted to it according to the law and constitution during the last period, and dedicated its work to protect the national security and did not waste its capacities in internal political missions, it would have been able to reveal and foil many sabotage operations and terrorist assassinations which targeted Lebanon.
