Lebanon launches a military tribunal to probe charges against suspected Israeli agents as the country continues tracking down spy networks.

The Military Court led by Judge Rashid Mazhar initiated on Tuesday the investigations of Lebanese Army colonels Mansur Diab and Shahid Toumiyeh, a Press TV correspondent reported.

Military prosecutor Saqr Saqr earlier charged the two, who were arrested last month, with providing Israel with information about military and security positions, as well as civilian locations and aiding Israeli forces in the summer of 2006.

One of the two colonels was also charged with possessing unlicensed weapons and hand grenades, while the other was charged with illegally entering Israel.

Lebanon has arrested at least 60 people for spying and 100 others on suspicions of espionage.

The arrests came after some 25 Israeli spy networks were discovered and dismantled in different parts of the country.
