Two Israeli soldiers have been arrested on suspicion they aided a spy ring trading information about Israel to Hizbullah for guns and hashish, military sources in Jerusalem were quoted as saying Tuesday.
Israeli police said a total of 12 people were in custody, including Arab and Jewish civilians, and that more soldiers were likely to be arrested.
The civilian suspects, all Israeli citizens, live in the Arab village of Ghajar, which straddles the Israeli-Lebanese border, and the nearby Jewish town of Kiryat Shemona.
An Israeli Army statement said the network supplied Hizbullah with maps, intelligence and night-vision equipment in exchange for hashish and cash.
