A Lebanese military court sentenced three Lebanese to death for spying for Israel.

Naharnet, a Lebanese news website, reported Feb. 24 that Moussa Ali Moussa had been convicted for “having contacted the Israeli enemy and passing on information.”

Two other Lebanese men, Ali Sweid and Ahmed Hussein Abdullah, were sentenced in absentia. More than one hundred people have been arrested since 2009 for spying for Israel, the news site said.

A week earlier, a military court sentenced Haitham al-Sahmarani, a retired member of the Internal Security Forces, after he alleged confessed to spying for Israel.

He was alleged to have relayed to Israel possible hideouts for Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah.
