BEIRUT - Hezbollah's Al-Manar TV reports that five Lebanese citizens have been detained on suspicion of spying for Israel, raising the number of suspects captured this week to six.

Al-Manar ssaid Saturday that two former policemen were among those detained. It did not say when the arrests took place.
Lebanon considers itself to be in a state of war with Israel and bans any contact with Israeli citizens. Lebanese authorities have arrested more than 50 people suspected of collaborating with Israel, under a crackdown that began last year.
All have been accused of providing Israel with intelligence on Hezbollah, which fought a fierce war with Israel in 2006.
