Lebanon’s Minister of Public Works and Transport, Ali Hamie, confirms that a Lebanese man was captured by Israeli naval commandos in northern Lebanon yesterday.

Hamie tells the local Al Jadeed News station that the man, named by media reports as Imad Amhaz, was a captain of civilian ships and was studying at a civilian naval institute after some reports claimed he was in the Lebanese Navy.

The Saudi Al-Hadath outlet reported that Amhaz was a Hezbollah official.
