The Israeli Navy captured a senior member of Hezbollah in northern Lebanon. An Israeli army officer gave this information on Saturday. Without revealing the name of the detainee, the officer said that this action took place in the city of Batroun, in northern Lebanon.
Earlier on Saturday, Lebanese officials said they were investigating whether Israel had captured a Lebanese ship captain who was taken by a group of armed men who landed on the coast of Batrun on Friday. The official said the captured senior member has been sent to Israeli territory and is currently being interrogated.
At the same time, the United Nations Interim Force (UNIF) has refused to participate in this action by the Israeli Navy. According to media reports, the United Nations Interim Force said that UNIFIL is not involved in kidnapping anyone or violating any laws in Lebanon. These rumors endanger peacekeeping forces.
War between Israel and Hezbollah
Hezbollah, the armed group present in Lebanon, supports Hamas in the war between Israel and Hamas. Because of this, tension between Israel and Hezbollah has also increased. Both continue to attack each other frequently.
Israel has announced a new phase of the war, aimed at expelling Hezbollah from the border, so that thousands of displaced people from northern Israel can return. Israel continually attacks Lebanon. Many senior leaders, including Hezbollah chief Nasrallah, have also been killed in the attacks. Let us tell you that Hezbollah was formed with the support of Iran and also has financial and military relations with Iran.
