According to the report, members of the elite Shayetet 13 force seized the alleged Hezbollah operative after landing on the coast in Batroun, a town in northern Lebanon, and then took him back to Israeli territory, an Israeli military official told CNN.
The official added that the seized operative was now being investigated by Unit 504 – an intelligence unit of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
The report said that Israel’s Shayetet 13, which operates out of the Atlit naval base on Israel’s northern Mediterranean coast, is sometimes likened to America’s Navy SEALS. The Israeli military has previously described Shayetet 13’s role to CNN as carrying out “strategic sabotage activity across enemy lines, including damaging vital structures during wartime and the enemy’s seaports.”
The report also stated that 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.
The report added that the troops “moved with all their weapons and equipment to a chalet near the beach, where they kidnapped the citizen Imad Amhaz and took him to the beach, (then) left by speedboats to the open sea.
