Imad Amhaz is a high-ranking commander of Hezbollah's military unit, which is responsible for the organization's armaments and naval activities. There is still unconfirmed information that he also held command positions in the Lebanese army.
A number of Arab media (Al Jadeed) reported that the IDF raid was carried out in coordination with the German Navy, which operates as part of UNIFIL. UNIFIL forces deny this.
According to Arab media reports, this is not the first raid by Israeli special forces during a military operation in Lebanon. A month and a half ago, the Israeli special forces penetrated the IRGC facility for the production of missiles and UAVs in Syria, seized secret documentation there and destroyed the facility. Israel does not comment on this information either.
