Israeli naval commandos reportedly conducted a raid in Batroun, northern Lebanon, early Saturday morning, capturing a Lebanese individual reported to be Hezbollah official and sea captain Imad Amhaz. The operation allegedly involved over 25 soldiers, including marines and divers, who arrived via speedboats and raided a chalet near the beach. The commandos swiftly took Amhaz into custody and departed. Some reports indicate that the raid was coordinated with the German navy, part of the UNIFIL mission. Batroun is located south of Tripoli and about 40 kilometers north of Beirut. CCTV footage purportedly captures the Israeli special marine force during the operation.
