General Security chief Abbas Ibrahim stressed that the security forces' pursuit of takfiri threats has not distracted it from confronting agents who are collaborating with Israel, reported al-Joumhouria newspaper on Tuesday.
He told the daily: “The General Security is combating terrorism, through its takfiri and Israeli guises.”
“Combating these two dangers will protect the country,” he added.
“This is part of our duty and we will confront everything that jeopardizes Lebanon,” declared Ibrahim.
He stated that more spy networks will be revealed in upcoming days, stressing that the General Security serves Lebanon's security.
The agency announced on Sunday that it had arrested a spy network working for Israel.
It detained a Syrian, his Lebanese wife, and another Lebanese national.
The network was monitoring security and military officials and relaying the information to its employers.
