Report: Palestinian in Lebanon arrested on suspicion of collaborating with Israel

The Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar reports that Palestinian security forces in Lebanon — forces that operate inside the Palestinian refugee camps in the country — arrested a Palestinian who collaborated with Israel.

According to the report, the detainee is himself a member of those Palestinian security forces and was caught in possession of $400,000 along with several phones and computers.

Sources tell the newspaper that after his arrest, the Palestinian admitted to being part of a network of eight collaborators working within the Palestinian security forces in refugee camps around the city of Tyre, and that he had transferred information that assisted Israel in carrying out assassinations in the Tyre area. The report did not specify who the assassinated individuals were.
