- BEIRUT: A Lebanese military court has convicted a man of spying for Israel and sentenced him to death.
- Lebanon and Israel technically remain at war, and more than 100 people in Lebanon have been arrested since 2009 on suspicion of collaborating with the Jewish state.
Amin Al-Baba was found guilty of giving Israeli intelligence agents information in return for money. He was also found guilty of entering an enemy state.
Al-Baba, who was sentenced late Thursday, had been spying for Israel from 1997 until his 2009 arrest.
The rulings can be appealed.
The new sentence brings the number of people sentenced to death for spying for Israel to nine.
