NNA says prosecutor Saqr Saqr charged the three Lebanese nationals, including two who are under arrest and a third who is in Israel, today with dealing with Israel, monitoring the movements of religious and political figures and preparing to carry out "terrorist acts."
The three could get up to 15 years in prison.
NNA said a fourth person, who is a U.N. Employee, was not charged because a special permission is needed from the U.N. forces in Lebanon.
Israel does not comment on such allegations. Lebanon and Israel technically remain at war, and more than 100 people in Lebanon have been arrested since 2009 on suspicion of collaborating with the Jewish state.
