BEIRUT: Lebanon has arrested 32 people in recent months on suspicion of providing Israel with information on Hezbollah that facilitated strikes on the Iran-backed militant group, a judicial official told AFP on Thursday.
More than a year of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah including two months of open war saw Israel pummel the group’s arsenal and commanders, and it has kept up strikes since a November truce.
Requesting anonymity, the official said that “at least 32 people have been arrested on suspicion of collaborating with Israel, six of them before the ceasefire.”

LONDON: Israeli authorities demolished two houses in Ramallah and East Jerusalem in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday.
Israeli forces demolished a house in Deir Qaddis village, west of Ramallah, using a military bulldozer after storming the area. The two-story house, home to more than ten residents, belonged to Nader Khawaja and was built 15 years ago, according to the Wafa news agency.
In Rafat, a town located northwest of Jerusalem, Israeli bulldozers demolished a house that a Palestinian owned.
On Monday, the Israeli army announced plans to demolish 25 residential buildings in the Nur Shams refugee camp in the northern West Bank later this week.
Since late 2023, Israeli authorities have conducted more than 1,014 demolitions in the West Bank and Jerusalem, targeting more than 3,679 buildings, including 1,288 inhabited homes, 244 uninhabited homes, and 962 agricultural and other structures.
Israel’s home-demolition policies aim to forcibly displace Palestinians and expand Israeli settlements in Jerusalem, in violation of international and humanitarian laws that guarantee the right to housing, Wafa added.
The Israeli government faces charges of war crimes and genocide in the occupied Palestinian territories at the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice.
