The IDF spokesman in Arabic, Avichai Adraee reveals details about the operation of Shayetet 13 last year in the town of Al-Batron in northern Lebanon, in which a senior member of Hezbollah's secret naval unit was arrested:
In the "Behind the Back" operation in the town of Al-Batron in northern Lebanon, about 140 km from the Israeli border, a captain named Imad Amhaz was captured, who is considered a key figure in a secret Hezbollah unit that is a member of the Coastal Missile Unit (7900). The IDF is making an unusual release of its documentation from the investigation.
Amhaz underwent military training in Iran and Lebanon, and gained extensive naval experience in order to carry out maritime terrorist operations. He also underwent training at the Lebanese Civil Naval Institute "Marsati".
In his interrogation, Amhaz admitted that he played a central role in the "secret naval file", and provided sensitive intelligence information about the file, which is one of the most sensitive and secret projects in Hezbollah.
