IDF troops captured a member of Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force in southern Lebanon yesterday, the military says.
According to the IDF, troops spotted the Radwan operative who was planning to carry out “imminent” attacks on Israeli forces stationed in southern Lebanon.
“A short while after being identified, the terrorist surrendered and was apprehended by the forces,” the military says, adding that he was taken to Israel to be interrogated by the Military Intelligence Directorate’s Unit 504, which specializes in human intelligence.
