BBC Lebanese security officials say an army colonel has been detained on suspicion of spying for Israel, the latest of about 30 such arrests.
There was no immediate comment by the Lebanese army about the report, which comes during a tense run-up to parliamentary elections next month.
More than 20 suspects have now been charged, some of them in their absence.
The latest to be charged are named as Ahmed Shibli, Jeryis Farah, and Jean Farah, described as a fugitive.
They have been charged with monitoring civilian and military installations and providing information to Israel about the movements of political figures. Lebanon is at a state of war with its southern neighbour Israel.
Convicted spies face a possible life prison term with hard labour or the death penalty if found guilty of contributing to Lebanese loss of life.
