Israeli military captures senior Hezbollah operative

The Israeli military on Sunday said it captured a senior Hezbollah operative during a raid in northern Lebanon.

The raid comes a month after Hezbollah said it had targeted a naval base on Israel’s northern Mediterranean coast that houses an elite Israeli naval commando.

CNN reports that members of the elite Shayetet 13 force seized the alleged Hezbollah operative after landing on the northern Lebanon.

Israeli official told CNN that the seized operative was now being investigated by an intelligence unit of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported Saturday that eyewitnesses had seen an unidentified military force carrying out a landing operation on the Batroun beach at dawn the day before.
