"Beautiful women, clandestine trips abroad and a hurried escape across a mine-infested border ... All are aspects of alleged Israeli espionage networks unraveling in Lebanon and worthy of a spy novel. Nearly 20 suspected spies, including a butcher, a mobile phone salesman and a retired general, have been detained in recent months as part of a long-running probe by Lebanese intelligence into Israeli sleeper cells. And more arrests are expected, security officials say."

Israeli spies
"Israel's government routinely refuses to discuss its intelligence activities, but Israeli commentator Ronen Bergman, a private expert on security affairs, said reports emerging from Lebanon could signal key errors by Israeli intelligence...Bergman, author of the new book "The Secret War with Iran," said the details of the network being published in the Lebanese media — and the apparent ease of unraveling the operation — "are all signs that are worrisome for Israel." Added Shlomo Brom, former chief of strategic planning for the Israeli military and an expert on south Lebanon and Syria: "If the Lebanese authorities say they have caught Israeli spies, there's a high likelihood that it's true.""
