The Israeli military has confirmed that a senior Hezbollah operative was captured in a naval raid in the Northern Lebanese town of Batroun.

An official says special forces had apprehended the individual and taken them back to Israeli territory, in what was described as a “special operation”.

The raid has prompted anger from Lebanese authorities, with the office for Prime Minister Najib Mikati saying he had instructed the foreign ministry to submit a complaint to the UN Security Council.

Hezbollah did not comment on Israel’s allegation that the person captured was a member of the group.

The Israeli military gave limited details on the operation but says the unit involved was a marine commando unit specialising in sea-to-land incursions.

More than 2,200 people have been killed in Lebanon since Israel launched a ground invasion of the country on September 30. The Israeli military says 38 soldiers have been killed in Lebanon during that time.
