The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) have announced that Golani Brigade troops captured Hassan Aqil Jawad, Hezbollah’s commander in Ayta ash-Shab, in southern Lebanon two weeks ago.
Following prior intelligence, troops found Jawad and other operatives in a tunnel within a Hezbollah command center.
The operatives surrendered, were questioned by Intelligence Directorate’s Unit 504, and later brought to Israel for further interrogation.
Their testimonies revealed terror infrastructures in Ayta ash-Shab, aiding Israeli forces in targeting and dismantling these threats.
Several other Hezbollah operatives have also been detained in recent operations in southern Lebanon.
