#Breaking 🔸IDF Reveals: #Hezbollah's  #terrorist Secret Maritime File – Terrorist Infrastructure Under Civilian Cover Directed by  #terrorist_Hassan_Nasrallah

🔸The IDF reveals that about a year ago, commandos from Unit 13 of the Naval Commando Unit launched an operation “behind the scenes” in the town of Batroun in northern Lebanon, approximately 140 km from the northern border, under the direction of the Naval Intelligence Directorate. During the operation, the forces captured Imad Amhaz, a key figure in Hezbollah's secret maritime file and a member of the Coastal Missile Unit (7900), and transferred him to Israel for interrogation.

🔸As part of his role in the Coastal Missile Unit, Amhaz received military training in Iran and Lebanon, acquiring extensive maritime experience for the purpose of carrying out maritime terrorist operations. He also received training at the Lebanese civilian maritime institute “Marsti,” which is yet another example of Hezbollah's cynical exploitation of Lebanese civilian institutions to advance its terrorist activities.

🔸During his interrogation, Amhaz revealed that he held a central position in the "Secret Maritime File" and provided sensitive intelligence about it. This file is considered one of Hezbollah's most sensitive and secretive projects, centered on establishing an organized infrastructure for maritime terrorist activities under a civilian guise, with the aim of striking Israeli and international targets.

🔸The Secret Maritime Project is considered one of Hezbollah's most sensitive and secretive projects and was directly directed by Hassan Nasrallah, the former Secretary-General, and Fouad Shukr, a prominent Hezbollah military commander, both of whom were killed during the war, as well as Ali Abdel Hassan Nour El-Din, the head of the Secret Maritime File.

🔸Following the thwarting of the leadership overseeing the Secret Maritime File, in addition to the information Amhaz provided during his interrogation, the IDF was able to disrupt the progress of the Secret Maritime File at a critical juncture, preventing its consolidation and maturation within the party.

🔸Hezbollah is developing its clandestine naval capabilities and other naval units thanks to Iranian intellectual and material support. Instead of investing this enormous sum of money in building Lebanon and its institutions, it is being allocated to Hezbollah's terrorist activities.

🔸The IDF will continue to operate on all fronts, using all available means, to eliminate the threats directed against the citizens of the State of Israel.

Military 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

The IDF on Friday 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.

According to the IDF, Amhaz was seized during a November operation by Shayetet 13, Israel’s elite naval commando unit, in the coastal town of Batroun, about 140 kilometers (87 miles) north of the Israeli border. The operation drew widespread attention in Lebanon and across the Arab world because of its depth and boldness.

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.
