AP: Palestinian suspected spy for Israel held by Hezbollah escapes amid IDF strike in Beirut

The Associated Press reports that Khaled al-Aidi, a Palestinian from Syria with Ukrainian citizenship, was captured by Hezbollah in Beirut on suspicion of spying for Israel and planning attacks. The report says he escaped custody in March during an Israeli airstrike in the Dahieh neighborhood, and is believed to have fled to Syria. The cell was allegedly run by a Mossad agent operating in Germany, according to the AP report cited by Israeli journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12).
