Israeli naval forces captured a senior Hezbollah operative in north Lebanon, an Israeli military official said Saturday, as the conflict between the Iran-backed
A Red Flag Warning is in effect for today. Due to windy and dry conditions, potential wildfires could rapidly spread.A Lebanese man points to the beach in Batroun, northern Lebanon, Saturday, Nov. 2, 2024, where Lebanese officials say a group of armed men landed on a coast north of Beirut and took away a ship captain and they're investigating whether Israel was involved.
"The operative has been transferred to Israeli territory and is currently being investigated," the military official said, without providing the name of the person in detention. Two Lebanese military officials confirmed to The Associated Press that a naval force landed in Batroun, about 30 kilometers north of Beirut, and abducted a Lebanese citizen. Neither gave the man's identity or said whether he was thought to have links to Lebanon's Hezbollah group. They did not confirm whether the armed men were an Israeli force.
Soon after Israel went public about the operation, Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati called on Lebanon's foreign minister to file a complaint against Israel at the U.N. Security Council. "We were terrified. They were breaking into the apartment next to ours," Hussein Delbani told The Associated Press near where the man was captured. "I thought a state agency was doing a security operation," said Delbani, who was displaced from south Lebanon a month ago when the Israel-Hezbollah war erupted.
