Israel’s Shayetet 13 commandos conducted a raid in northern Lebanon, capturing senior Hezbollah operative Imad Amhaz, believed to hold key information on Hezbollah’s naval operations. The operation, part of Israel’s intensified military actions against Hezbollah, also targeted an underground compound in southern Lebanon, resulting in the seizure of weapons and the killing of several operatives. Hezbollah condemned the actions but did not confirm Amhaz’s affiliation. Israel’s military efforts aim to counter Hezbollah’s increased attacks, which have intensified since October 8, 2023, in support of Hamas.
