Russian secret service helped Hizballah bust Israeli spy rings in Lebanon
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report
05 Aug: Western intelligence sources in the Middle East disclose that a special unit of the Russian Federal Security Service - FBS - commissioned by Hizballah's special security apparatus earlier this year, was responsible for the massive discovery of alleged Israel spy rings in Lebanon in recent months with the help of its super-efficient detection systems.
This is the first time the Russian agency has engaged in anti-Israel activity in the service of an Arab terrorist organization, a turn of events described as grave by an Israeli security source especially when Moscow is deepening its strategic involvement in Syria.
Israel's massive clandestine infiltration of Lebanon began shortly after its 2006 Lebanese conflict when Hizballah, after sustaining heavy casualties, conscripted thousands of young Shiites without checking their backgrounds. Israel used the opportunity to recruit agents in large numbers.
