Two Lebanese suspected of spying for Israel have admitted they were ordered by Israel to gather information about Palestinian and Syrian positions in Lebanon, LBC TV reported Saturday.
The two suspects, Ali Jarrah and Youssif Jarrah who were taken into custody by the Lebanese army, admitted they have visited Israel for 12 times, six times through the Lebanese-Israeli borders, and the rest via European capitals.
Their task also included recording plate numbers of trucks coming from Syria, in suspicion that the vehicles may be carrying arms to Hezbollah.
The report added that they received communication equipment and cameras from the Israelis.
The two Lebanese were arrested in early November in eastern Lebanon's Bekaa Valley which is considered to be a stronghold of the Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah.
Hezbollah and Israel fought a 33-day war in 2006 that left much of Lebanon's infrastructure destroyed and claimed the lives of more than 1,200 Lebanese.
