According to an Associated Press report cited by Israeli media, Khaled al-Aidi — a Palestinian from Syria who holds Ukrainian citizenship — was captured by Hezbollah in Beirut and held by the terror group on suspicion of spying for Israel and belonging to a cell that planned attacks in Lebanon, including near the anniversary ceremony for Nasrallah's killing. The report says he escaped custody during an Israeli airstrike in Dahieh in March and is assessed to have fled to Syria. It adds that he arrived in Lebanon on a flight from Ethiopia and was part of a cell allegedly run by a Mossad agent operating in Germany.
