A Shia cleric has been arrested in Lebanon on suspicion of spying for Israel, Lebanese security sources say.

A Lebanese newspaper said the cleric was known for his criticism of the Shia movement, Hezbollah.

A number of senior Lebanese figures from the army, politics and business have been arrested over the past two years, as part of a campaign against a suspected Israeli espionage network.
