A commander in a Hezbollah-allied militia was captured by Israeli troops during an overnight raid on the Lebanese side of Mount Dov, the IDF says.

The military says troops of the Egoz commando unit captured a cell commander from the Lebanese Resistance Companies during the raid on Tuesday night.

He was taken to Israel to be questioned by the Military Intelligence Directorate’s Unit 504, which specializes in human intelligence.

The IDF says the Lebanese Resistance Companies is funded by Hezbollah and its members have taken direct part in attacks on Israeli troops.
