Lebanese News and Updates
โ—๏ธCCTV footage is circulating on social media of an alleged Israeli navy operation on Batroun beach, where they kidnapped someone from Lebanon with the support of the Germany UN forces in that area.

No statement yet by the Lebanese army.
What's important to note in the video is:

1- There are Mossad agents supporting the Israeli army elite navy unit.

They are dressed in civilian and guiding the Israeli unit. They could be locals to the area.

2- They kidnapped only one. Judging by his looks, he was kidnapped. This is not an extraction of an asset (agent or someone who defected)

3- Faces are clear. We might have suspects identified.

4- There is zero Hezbullah presence there. The only possible Shia there is someone who is seeking refugee.

โ›ด The incident happened in Batroun because Imad was likely at the maritime boat officer course at Marsati - Maritime Sciences and Technology Institute in Batroun.

Unclear if the institute was open for lessons as usual or closed.

Israeli media started to officially acknowledge the event, not just copy Lebanese media, and claim he was member of Hezbullah naval units.

A daring operation to kidnap someone who is still learning how to use a boat for Hezbullah, allegedly if true of course.
