A Southern Lebanon military intelligence head handed Hezbollah classified information jeopardizing a ceasefire agreement with Israel, Britain's The Times reported citing intelligence sources.
Suhil Bahij Gharb, responsible for peacekeeping, allegedly provided the information from inside a security control room operated by the US, France and the UN.
He was present in the international situation room on the insistence of the senior Hezbollah commander Wafiq Safa. Safa, who heads the group’s so-called co-ordination and liaison committee, survived an Israeli assassination attempt in Beirut last October.

As the US Senate confirmed Scott Bessent to serve as Trump’s treasury secretary on Monday, check out what outrageous policy statements has he made?
“I will be 100 percent on board from taking sanctions up, especially on the Russian oil majors to levels that would bring Russia to the table,” Bessent said during his Senate confirmation hearing.
He argued that the Biden administration’s sanctions imposed on Russia were “not fulsome enough.”
He called it “the most unbalanced economy in the world,” and accused it of not fulfilling its commitments under the previous trade agreements.
"Through sanction policy, I believe we can make the Iranian regime broke again - and at the same time, increase our domestic production with the highest energy standards in the world."
Amid a global dedollarization trend, Bessent insisted it was critical to “ensure that the US dollar remains the world’s reserve currency.”
