The Suzaku data of the galactic binary source LS 5039, which have continuous coverage of more than one orbital period, show strong modulation of the X-ray emission at the orbital period of this TeV gamma-ray emitting system. The X-ray radiation of LS 5039 is likely to be linked to very-high-energy electrons which are also responsible for the TeV gamma-ray emission.
