Man’s capture sabotaged secret Hezbollah naval unit: Israel

Agencies :

Israel’s military said Friday a man seized last year in Lebanon was a Hezbollah operative who played a key role in planning a covert maritime force for the militant group.

The military said special unit troops apprehended Imad Amhaz in November 2024 from the north Lebanese city of Batroun, and transferred him to Israel.

“During his questioning, Amhaz stated that he held a central role in the ‘covert maritime portfolio’,” which the military called “one of Hezbollah’s most classified and sensitive projects.”
