An Israeli naval force launched a “special operation” in the northern Lebanese coastal town of Batroun on Friday and captured one person, a security source said.

Another source confirmed the incident, but did not say who was responsible.

The Lebanese National News Agency said security forces were investigating the incident.

An Israeli military official said that “a senior Hezbollah official, who serves as an expert in his field, has been apprehended.”

The official said the agent had been transferred to Israeli territory and was under investigation.

Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati has called for an investigation into the kidnapping of a Lebanese citizen from the northern coastal town of Batroun, a statement from Mikati’s office said Saturday.

He identified the arrested person as Imad Amhaz.

Mikati consulted with the Lebanese army and UNIFIL officials and called on Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib to lodge an urgent complaint with the UN Security Council, the statement added.

Pro-Hezbollah journalist Hassan Illaik said in an article on X that a large group of Israeli soldiers landed at the resort and captured the man, before leaving on speedboats.

He shared CCTV footage showing soldiers walking down a street, two of them holding a person.

Lebanese Transport Minister Ali Hamiye, who represents Hezbollah in the Lebanese government, said the video was accurate but did not provide further details.
