The IDF says troops operating in southern Lebanon have captured a Hezbollah operative.
According to the military, the operative was carrying out surveillance on forces of the 36th Division. He was captured by troops and taken to Israel for interrogation.
The military says the division also killed dozens of Hezbollah operatives who attempted to ambush the forces, and located numerous weapons in southern Lebanon in the past day.
In one incident, troops spotted an RPG-wielding operative and killed him before he could open fire, the army says.
