Video: Captured Top Commander Reveals Hezbollah’s “Most Secretive” Naval Operation
The Nabbed Hezbollah naval commander “said Israel was a primary target, but added that Hezbollah also considers the United States an enemy.”
The Israeli military, on Friday, revealed new details on how it disrupted Hezbollah’s maritime terrorist operation during last year’s offensive against the Iranian-backed terrorist group. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released an interrogation video of Imad Amhaz, a senior commander in the terror group’s naval operation, who was captured by Israeli special forces deep inside hostile territory in Lebanon.
In early November 2024, Amhaz was nabbed by Shayetet 13, regarded as Israel’s Navy SEALs, from a remote coastal town in northern Lebanon. The Guardian (UK) described the IDF’s daring operation as “first of its kind, with Israeli soldiers landing in north Lebanon – an area unaffiliated with Hezbollah and almost 100 miles from the Lebanon-Israel border.”
The Lebanese government cried foul at that time, calling for a United Nations inquiry over the “kidnapp[ing] of the citizen Imad Amhaz.” The IDF interrogation video shows Amhaz confessing to his leading role in Hezbollah’s terrorist naval operations and plans to attack Israel from the sea. According to Amhaz, Israel and the U.S. are enemies of Hezbollah.

While the IDF released only a 3-minute video, media reports suggest that the top terror commander may have spilled the beans on Hezbollah’s highly secretive terrorist naval operations against Israel. The newspaper Israel Hayom observed how Amhaz “systematically laid out the complete picture behind one of Hezbollah’s most secretive and organized operations – a strategic, creative, and ambitious project dubbed “The Clandestine Maritime File”.”

The Israeli news outlet Ynetnews reported the details of the terrorist’s interrogation:
The IDF on [F]riday released rare interrogation footage of Imad Amhaz, a senior commander in Hezbollah’s naval unit who was captured about a year ago in a covert commando raid on Lebanon’s northern coast, dubbed Operation Behind the Back. (…)
In the footage, Amhaz describes the command structure of Hezbollah’s secret maritime project, saying it was overseen directly by the group’s slain leader Hassan Nasrallah and by Fuad Shukr, Hezbollah’s former chief of staff, who was also later killed. He identified Ali Abd al-Hassan al-Nour as a senior official still alive and responsible for the project.
The IDF said Amhaz served in Hezbollah’s coastal missile unit and underwent extensive training in Iran and Lebanon. He also studied at a civilian maritime institute in Lebanon as part of what the military described as a cover for terror-related activity at sea.
During his interrogation in Israel, Amhaz said he played a central role in what he called Hezbollah’s “secret maritime file,” one of the organization’s most classified and compartmentalized projects. According to the IDF, the project was intended to establish a covert maritime terror infrastructure disguised as civilian activity, targeting Israeli and international interests.
“This work has to remain secret. It’s not logical for someone known as an organization member to operate openly,” Amhaz said in the interrogation footage. “If someone with a senior role suddenly goes out to sea, it immediately raises suspicion.”
Amhaz told interrogators the unit carried out a wide range of activities, including the transfer of personnel and military equipment via commercial vessels. He said Israel was a primary target, but added that Hezbollah also considers the United States an enemy.
Hezbollah’s Iranian armed and trained terrorists have long been planning maritime operations against Israel. In 2022, Hezbollah chief Nasrallah threatened to target Israel’s offshore gas drilling operation, prompting the IDF to deploy the Iron Dome air defense system to protect maritime infrastructure in the north of the country.
Israel strikes Hezbollah training camp, terror targets ‘across Lebanon’
Nearly one year after the IDF ground offensive against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, the terrorist group is rebuilding its terrorist presence on Israel’s northern border. With the Lebanese government failing to disarm Hezbollah in violation of the U.S.-backed ceasefire deal, the IDF is carrying out targeted strikes in southern Lebanon.
Israeli air strikes, on Friday, destroyeda Hezbollah training camp and other terrorist targets. The “IDF struck terror infrastructure sites in multiple areas across Lebanon,” the military announced. “In the strikes, terror infrastructure sites and launching sites in a military compound used by Hezbollah to conduct training and courses for the organization’s terrorists, as well as launch artillery fire and store weapons were dismantled.”

Comments
Were these operations as good as the Iranian Navy’s?
and the un is complicit with the enemies of israel and america
And Qatarlson STILL believes that sending money to Israel is wasteful.
Imagine if Hesbullah spent all those billions on actually improving the lives of its people instead of on trying to kill Jews.
I can’t. The never have. They never will.
BTW: They aren’t even supposed to be in Lebanon. They’re invaders who have essentially taken over or at least hamstrung the country.
They’re not invaders. They’re Lebanese themselves, so taking over the country was a coup, not an invasion.
At least 5% and maybe 10% of Lebanon’s population are “Palestinians”. 40% of Lebanon’s population is from Syria. Then there are the Iranians which have a “civilian” population in Lebanon and of course Iran acts as overlords to the country. I’d say this qualifies as an invasion.
All their people are not worth a dime. What I want to see are their useless and worse fellows expelled.
Feed ’em to the sharks.
The Israel special forces and I think there is something like 6 different special forces are just awesome. They’re not supposed to be the best in the world, but they are still damn good!
Mossad? I think they and SAAs are pretty darn great
Mossad is their secret service. I was referring to the special forces in the military like our deltas, seals, green berets, rangers, or like the UKs
SAS and SBS.
You forgot Marine Recon 😉
Sorry about that. I thought of them but the only name that came to mind was Force Recon which was close. I also didn’t mention the air force special service that flies our special forces in on their missions. I;m sure there are others that I forgot or don’t know about.
On November 22,2022 I went in to see Dr Noll for my navel operation (hernia repair & mesh)
November 22…
Dr Noll…
Coincidence? He must have been the one on the grassy knoll
In walks a 20-something year old
Another conspiracy theory up in flames… 🙂
Was your recovery period as much fun as mine?
Still hurts sometimes
I was in excruciating pain every time I stood up or sat down. It diminished slowly over 7 weeks. And then there was the constipation due to the supper powerful opioid used to keep me from screaming until I got home. My surgeon didn’t feel a thing.
Fine now, but I pick up things off the floor slowly due to PTSD.
“Hezbollah considers the United States their enemy”
Yet we not only allow people who support Hezbollah into our country, but also allow them to hold rallies and attempt to sway the allegiance of our citizens.
In 2025, several rallies featured explicit displays of support for Hezbollah:
1. New York City, NY (Feb 2025): Vigil to memorialize Hezbollah leaders Hassan Nasrallah and Hashem Safieddine. Protesters displayed Hezbollah flags and chanted pro-terror and antisemitic slogans.
2. New York City, NY (Sept 2024): During the UN Gen Assembly, a masked protester waved a Hezbollah flag and held a sign that read “New York for Hezbollah”.
3. Chicago, IL & Philadelphia, PA: Demonstrations in late 2024 & early 2025 attendees carried Hezbollah insignia along with pro-Palestinian messaging.
4. Dearborn, MI (Sept 2024): Hundreds gathered to support Hezbollah amid Israeli airstrikes.
We try not to let known supporters in, but often we don’t know they’re supporters until they’re already here.
But rallies and attempts to persuade people are protected speech. Once someone is here, the constitution protects his right to say and advocate whatever he likes.
“He said Israel was a primary target, but added that Hezbollah also considers the United States an enemy.”
As news goes, hardly worth a duh.
