Israeli forces land in Lebanese coastal town, seize one person, sources say
BEIRUT (Reuters) -A suspected Israeli naval force landed in the northern Lebanese coastal town of Batroun early on Friday and captured one person, a security source said, while another source confirmed the incident but did not say who was responsible.
Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency said security forces were investigating the incident.
There was no immediate comment from Israeli and Lebanese authorities.
Pro-Hezbollah journalist Hassan Illaik said in a post on X that a large group of Israeli troops made a landing in the resort town and captured the man, before departing on speed boats.
He shared CCTV footage appearing to show soldiers walking in a street, two of them holding a person.
Lebanese transport minister Ali Hamiye, who represents Hezbollah in Lebanon’s government, said the video was accurate but did not provide further details.
