The spy, known as M.Sh.. caused great damage to the Shi’ite militant organization but his arrest was also seen by the Hezbollah leadership as an important achievement, Al Rai reported.
The alleged Mossad member was reportedly arrested weeks ago and belonged to Hezbollah’s Unit 910, which carries out operations against specific Israeli targets.
Sources told the Kuwaiti newspaper that M.Sh. was a resident of a village in south Lebanon and that he comes from a family with religious figures who are known for their loyalty to Hezbollah. But the sources added that M. Sh.’s arrest would not negatively influence his family, “that can not be blamed for his deeds.”
M.Sh. reportedly advanced in Hezbollah until he became responsible for Nasrallah’s personal security with an emphasis on surveillance.
After the spy was discovered, Hezbollah was quick to release the unit’s fighters and spread them around to other known units. The commander was similarly discharged after his activities were revealed to US and Israeli intelligence, Al Rai reported.

Guess what…we have a much more powerful spy watching you and counter-balancing every move you make – Hashem.
“But the sources added that M. Sh.‘s arrest would not negatively influence his family, “that can not be blamed for his deeds.”
At least Hezbollah follows the halacha.
