Lebanese media revealed, yesterday (Thursday), the details of the downing of one of the most dangerous Israeli spy networks in Lebanon, after the guards of the Speaker of the Lebanese Parliament became suspicious of a car that was roaming the vicinity of the Speaker’s headquarters in Beirut. The car was stopped and its driver was found in possession of a device. Highly advanced electronic devices and phones included dozens of videos including a comprehensive survey of the area, and this was in late 2023.

According to the Lebanese media, the detainee was handed over to the Information Branch of the Internal Security Forces to begin investigations that revealed suspicion of dealing with Israel in an extremely dangerous technical manner, in exchange for him receiving $200,000.

Investigations revealed that the detainee provided a “fake” American company, most likely a front for Israeli intelligence, with a comprehensive survey of a large number of areas, including Beirut, in cooperation with a partner of his named (Hadi A).

The two defendants, who work (experts in computer and communications engineering), provided the fictitious company with an exact copy of these areas, including the streets, buildings, names of shops, parked and mobile cars, their license plate numbers, and the faces of passers-by. 56 notes were found on the phone of the first defendant (Mohieddin H.). One thousand high-quality images.

The two detainees used highly advanced equipment equipped with a system for scanning radio frequencies related to Internet service providers and the addresses of access points located in homes, institutions, and public places, which facilitates determining the user’s geographical location.

The two defendants were able to obtain the name of each Wi-Fi device in the areas that were surveyed and the password, enabling them to determine the location of any cell phone user once his phone became connected to the Internet service provider.

The two detainees admitted that the data and information they provided to the company were of a sensitive nature, but they denied that this company was Israeli.
