Lebanese Shiite armed group Hezbollah has reportedly made security changes after a Lebanese Shiite was arrested from south Lebanon town of Nabatieh on charges of spying for Israel, Al-Balad daily reported Thursday.
Quoting a source close to Hezbollah, the daily said that the party adopted "new security measures."
The Lebanese army announced on Feb. 16 that Marwan Faqih was arrested in south Lebanon and is in the army custody.
News reports said that Faqih is believed to have started collaborating with Israeli intelligence since he was recruited in France in 1990.
Al-Akhbar daily, close to Hezbollah, said that Faqih was assigned to collect information about Hezbollah, and owned a gas station in the area, which helped him in his task.
Security sources said that official charges have not been filed against him, however, the case is still pending before the military prosecutor.
Two Israeli agent networks have been discovered in the last two years in Lebanon, and the Lebanese army intelligence has carried out several arrests.
Israel and Hezbollah fought a devastating 34-day war in 2006, and are on a high state of animosity.
