Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon have denied any connection with an Israeli of Lebanese descent who has been accused of spying for them. Israeli media has identified this individual as Nasim, a 35-year-old with a Shiite father and a Jewish mother, who reportedly immigrated to Israel ten years ago. A Hezbollah spokesperson stated today that the group has had no contact or connection with Nasim. On Thursday, an Israeli prosecutor claimed that the accused had provided Hezbollah with maps of Tel Aviv, indicating gas and electricity distribution areas. Nasim is also accused of attempting to obtain information about Israeli military operations from a senior Israeli army officer to send to Hezbollah. Another accusation against Nasim involves providing Hezbollah with information about a plan that allegedly aimed to assassinate the leader of Hezbollah. Israeli media has reported that Nasim has confessed to at least several of these charges.
