BEIRUT: Lebanese Army Intelligence on Tuesday were still questioning an Arab-Israeli man who turned up on a beach in south Lebanon after swimming from Israel.
Investigators are trying to determine whether Ahmad Jamal Daiif entered Lebanese waters after getting lost at sea or whether he was on a mission, a security source told The Daily Star Tuesday.
A statement issued by the Lebanese Army Monday said army intelligence arrested a Palestinian national who had swum from Nahariya Beach in Israel to the beach of Naqoura in south Lebanon.
The security source said Daiif showed up in a diving suit on a beach in Naqoura Monday.
The Israeli army said it had no information on the case.
