"Hezbollah's security apparatus detained Shawraba, who is a collaborator in its ranks,". He had been working with Israel's Mossad intelligence service since 2007, the source said.
Shawraba was in charge of Hezbollah "unit 901", which coordinates the group's foreign operations. He lived in Hezbollah's south Beirut stronghold but travelled frequently, said the source, adding that Israel's spy agency recruited him during a trip abroad.
"This member sabotaged some five security operations that Hezbollah had been planning abroad against Israeli-linked interests," to avenge the killing of its top military commander Imad Mughniyeh, who was assassinated in a 2008 car bomb attack in Damascus which the Shiite group blamed on Israel.
Hezbollah has rarely been infiltrated by foreign intelligence agencies.
In 2012, the group arrested an official in its missiles unit named Abu Trab, who was accused of providing Israel with information about the locations of Hezbollah's rockets in southern Lebanon during a month-long 2006 war.
Peace is worth a lot. Let us try it sometime.
