Weak Israel resorts to spying: Nasrallah

Hezbollah Secretary General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah says Israel is not capable of infiltrating the resistance movement's infrastructure.

In a speech broadcast on closed-circuit television in Lebanon on Friday, Nasrallah said Israel has even lost the military capability to protect itself, adding that its incompetence has forced it to resort to the CIA's capabilities.

On Wednesday, Hezbollah announced that it had arrested over ten of its members, among them high-ranking figures, on suspicion of spying for Israel's intelligence service, the Mossad.

During his speech, the Hezbollah leader noted that Israel asked the US Central Intelligence Agency for help in obtaining information about the resistance movement.

Nasrallah also accused the US Embassy in Lebanon of conducting espionage missions for Israel.

He explained that the security wing of Hezbollah has uncovered three cases of espionage, which show that US Embassy officials have been spying on behalf of Israel.

The Hezbollah leader gave assurances that none of the spies have been able to obtain sensitive intelligence that could harm the resistance movement.

Israel launched an intelligence war against Hezbollah following its defeat in the 33-day war against the Lebanese resistance movement in 2006.

If convicted, the spies will face life sentences with hard labor. Should they be found guilty of contributing to the death of a Lebanese citizen, the agents will face the death penalty.
