Hezbollah soldiers march during a military Parade in southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah resistance movement has adopted 'new security measures' after the arrest of an alleged Israeli agent in southern Lebanon.
Citing Hezbollah security sources, Lebanese daily Al-Balad reported that the movement made changes amid concerns that its security information had been passed to Israel.
The report comes after the Lebanese army arrested Marwan Faqih, a Lebanese national in the southern town of Nabatieh, on charges of spying for Israel.
Faqih who owned a gas station in the area, have started collaborating with Israeli intelligence since he was recruited in France in 1990, Al-Akhbar reported.
Security sources however said official charges have not been filed against him, and the case is still pending before the military prosecutor.
Hezbollah has also stepped up security measures against a possible Israeli offensive against the country.
