BEIRUT: The Information Branch of the Internal Security Forces arrested a man in the Marjayoun town of Mais al-Jabal Thursday on suspicion of collaborating with Israel. Security sources said that the man, Farouq Khalil Shouqeir, worked as a dentist and was taken into custody after the ISF received reports about his alleged collaboration. Later Thursday, the ISF released a statement in which it confirmed that the arrest had been made at Shouqeir’s residence in Mais al-Jabal and he was transferred to the ISF’s Marjayoun headquarters. The ISF statement added that Shouqeir confessed to investigators that he had collaborated with the Israelis since 2004. According to the source, the 55-year-old Shouqeir’s brother was one of the members of the Israeli-allied South Lebanon Army militia. The source added that Shouqeir’s brother fled Lebanon alongside Israeli soldiers in 2000. –The Daily Star
