🇮🇱🇱🇧 A team of over 25 Israeli Special Forces carried out a sea landing and abducted a Lebanese man, who was alone at the location.

The sea landing was coordinated with German navy, they are part of UNIFIL’s mission to prevent the Lebanese navy, who fights anti-smuggling operations in the area, from intervening in Israel’s abduction.

There are 3 claims floating a round:
- IDF claims they have kidnapped a senior Hezbollah official
- Other sources say he is a captain of the Lebanese navy
- Lebanese TV says he’s a civilian captain

🗣️ Lebanese minuster said on TV:

"The kidnapped person is a sea captain for civilian and commercial ships and is receiving his education at a civilian institute. What is mentioned in the circulated video is true, and the security services are conducting the necessary investigations."

According to the Saudi Arabian Al-Hadath channel, the kidnapped Hezbollah official is Imad Amhz.

Though he seems to be the one, it is disputed if he’s in Hezbollah or not.

It is also claimed to indicate the guy kidnaped is the Lebanese army Navy officer Imad Amhaz who graduated 2nd in class two years ago

No further details so far.
