It shows some 25 men proceed from the beach to a house where Imad Amhaz was staying. The commandos grabbed Amhaz and then escaped with him on speedboats.
An Israeli military official speaking on the condition of anonymity confirmed the reports, giving the following statement:
"In a special operation by the 'Shayetet 13' unit in the Lebanese town of Batroun, a senior operative of Hezbollah, who serves as an expert in his field, was apprehended. The operative has been transferred to Israeli territory and is currently being investigated by Unit 504. The IDF will continue to act wherever necessary to protect the State of Israel and its citizens."
Prior to the official confirmation, Israeli commentators were saying that the IDF is the region's only military capable of carrying out such operations.
