Military Examining Magistrate Imad al-Zain issued on Wednesday an arrest warrant against a Lebanese on charges of attempting to collaborate with Israel.

The state-run National News Agency reported that al-Zain questioned a citizen identified by his initials as F. Y.

He issued an arrest warrant against him for trying to contact Israel.

The suspect could be sentenced to 15 years in prison with hard labor.
