Khaled al-Aydi, a Palestinian refugee with Ukrainian citizenship, escaped Hezbollah detention in March 2026 and fled to the Ukrainian Embassy in Beirut. He is accused of being part of an Israeli spy plot to carry out bombings and assassinations.
Lebanese authorities refused to let him leave due to a warrant, but he is believed to have fled the country. The case has strained relations between the Lebanese government and Hezbollah, highlighting Israel's extensive intelligence networks in Lebanon.
