According to a report appearing on Wednesday in the Hizbullah-affiliated al-Akhbar newspaper, a man by the name Maher was taken into custody accused of spying for Israel’s Mossad Intelligence Agency in southern Lebanon.
The report states the suspect admitted cooperating with the Mossad since 2007 in addition to the fact that his wife fled to Israel in 2007, where she has been assisting the Mossad since. In 2008 he traveled to the Czech Republic, where he attended a three-day training seminar for advance espionage techniques.
The paper also reports that another individual was arrested in Tripoli two weeks ago, a man who visited the Israeli embassy in Cyprus in 2000, requested to work as an informant for Israel. According to Lebanese authorities, 83 people were arrested in the last year, suspected of spying for Israel.

It appears that “being a spy” for Israel is the Islamic world’s equivalent of being a “witch” in early modern Europe. I little skepticism might be warranted.
Of course the reports might be true, and what is really happening is that the US is giving Israel money to hire a massive number of spies, thereby proping up the economy of the Arab countries, on the (wrong but so what) theory that high employment reduces terrorism – so if Israel stopped hiring millions of spies, the Arab world would suffer mass unemployment.
