Iranian media: Hezbollah operative captured in daring IDF raid freed in exchange for Elizabeth Tsurkov

Israeli hostage Elizabeth Tsurkov was freed from captivity in Iraq in exchange for two members of Iranian proxy groups, among them a senior Hezbollah member captured in a daring IDF raid last year, the semi-official Iranian Tasnim news agency reports.

Imad Amhaz was captured in November during a commando raid on the coast of Batroun, northern Lebanon, and was considered by the military to have been a “significant source of knowledge” in the terror group’s naval force.
