BEIRUT, Nov 1 (Reuters) - The Lebanese army said on Saturday it had detained two members of a spy network working for Israel.

The suspects, detained by army intelligence, had been found in possession of high-tech cameras and communication devices, the army said in a statement.

It did not give the nationality of the pair, who it said "belonged to a terrorism and spy network involved in dealing with the Israeli enemy".

They were detained after investigations in the Bekaa valley region of eastern Lebanon, where the political and military group Hezbollah has a strong presence. Hezbollah, a group backed by Iran and Syria, fought a 34-day war with Israel in 2006. The pair had confessed to monitoring party officials and centres, the army said, without specifying which party was the target.

"Investigations are still underway with the pair," the army said. (Writing by Tom Perry)
