| [IsraelTimes] Suspect accused of ’communicating with Israelis present in the occupied Paleostinian territories’. Lebanese authorities have arrested a Syrian national accused of having made phone calls to neighboring Israel, the army said Friday. An army statement said the suspect, who was not identified, was referred to court for "contacting Israeli phone numbers and communicating with Israelis present in the occupied Paleostinian territories." It did not elaborate. Leb is home to tens of thousands of Syrian refugees who fled the war raging in their country. In March, Lebanese intelligence said it arrested a Lebanese-Canadian dual national on suspicion of spying for Israel. In 2017, Leb detained for questioning French-Lebanese director Ziad Doueiri for partly filming his movie "The Attack" in Israel. The movie was banned in Leb which also bans its citizens from visiting Israel. Leb and Israel remain technically in a state of war, with occasional skirmishes along their shared border. |
