Report: Suspected Lebanon spy made frequent visits to Israel
By Yoav Stern, Haaretz Correspondent
Tags: Mossad, Israel News, Lebanon 

A Lebanese citizen who was recently arrested over espionage charges made frequent visits to Israel during which he was trained in espionage techniques, the Lebanese daily Al-Akhbar reported on Tuesday.

The suspected spy, who has been identified as Ali Jarrah, was taught on the trips how to operate surveillance equipment and a radio transmitter, according to the paper.

The report stated that Jarrah's Mossad espionage agency handler would contact him via his mobile phone and ask him to travel to neighboring countries such as Jordan, Egypt and Cyprus. Jarrah would receive there a fake Israeli passport, which he used to enter Israel.

During the visits, which usually lasted for one or two days, the Mossad would pay for Jarrah to stay in a hotel, according to the daily.

About two weeks ago, Al-Akhbar reported that Jarrah is suspected of monitoring the movements of senior Hezbollah officials.

The newspaper also said that he was arrested in July by Hezbollah, before being transferred to the custody of the Beirut authorities.
