An Israeli citizen of Lebanese descent was sentenced to six years in prison by an Israeli court in Tel Aviv for espionage in collaboration with the militant group Hezbollah. Espionage in Israel carries severe penalties, but since the defendant, Nasim Nasser, 35, was willing to confess, the court imposed a lighter sentence. Nasser provided confidential information, including details about the electricity network in Tel Aviv, to the terrorists. In October, an Israeli army officer and four Arab-Israeli men were also convicted in a major espionage case for Hezbollah, selling information related to Israeli military movements at the Lebanese border and providing military maps and mobile phones to them.
