BEIRUT: Lebanon’s Military Tribunal
sentenced a Lebanese man to death in absentia and five others to hard labor
Monday night for collaborating with Israel and providing it with
information about Hezbollah's bases in south Lebanon.
Brig. Gen. Khalil Ibrahim sentenced Ahmad
Husein Abdallah to death in absentia, Hussein Mohammad Ali Musa to seven
years of hard labor and Jaafar Halawi to three years of hard labor.
The three men had been convicted of
collaborating with Israel, providing it with information regarding
Hezbollah's bases in south Lebanon and political figures in the country, as
well as engaging in secret machinations and helping the Jewish State to
triumph militarily over Lebanon.
The period of their collaboration extended
from shortly after the 2006 war between Lebanon and Israel until 2009.
During that time, Musa provided Israel with information regarding Hezbollah
bases in various areas of the country. Musa’s contact with Israel was
severed in 2009 when he lied to an unnamed Israeli officer about his
whereabouts.
In a separate trial, Saeb Mohammad Aoun
was sentenced to hard labor for life, Mohammad Hasan Abdallah to seven
years of hard labor and Nabil Zaytoun to three years of hard labor.
Aoun, Abdallah and Zaytoun had
collaborated with Israel from 1982 until 1988 and renewed their work in
2000 following the withdrawal of Israeli troops from south Lebanon.
All the convicts have been stripped of
their civil rights.
