Lebanese security forces have arrested a Hezbollah operative for allegedly spying for Israel, the Saudi Al Hadath news outlet reports.

Mahmoud Ayoub, the financial director at Ragheb Harb Hospital, was arrested today in the town of Harouf, in the Nabatieh district, Al Hadath reports.

The arrest comes weeks after the London-based Arabic Asharq al-Awsat newspaper reported that at least 21 suspects were being held for spying for the Jewish state, including Mohammed Salah, the son of an elite Radwan Force commander and a well-known religious singer.
