Two Lebanese men and a Palestinian have confessed to supplying Israeli intelligence agents with information regarding Hezbollah's activities, media outlets in Lebanon reported on Tuesday.

The three men were arrested on Saturday for allegedly transferring sensitive information to Israel's Mossad spy agency. According to the Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar, their alleged espionage was exposed during an investigation of a retired Lebanese general also suspected of spying on behalf of Israel.

The detainees are suspected of operating from two separate cells in southern Lebanon. A Lebanese security source was quoted by the newspaper as saying that the detainees' vehicles were compounded, along with the mobile phones and computers during a search of their homes.

Lebanese media reported in recent weeks the capture of a spy network, comprising 12 members, working on behalf of Israel. Retired Lebanese general Adib Alam was named as the head of the alleged network.

According to media report, Israeli agents recruit Alam 11 years ago and convinced him to leave his post in the Lebanese security services and open a manpower company for foreign workers as a front for espionage activities.
