Marking a new Israeli aggression and violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty, a Zionist naval force landed in the northern Lebanese coastal town of Batroun early on Friday and captured one person, a security source said.
Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency said security forces were investigating the incident.
Caretaker Minister of Public Works and Transport Ali Hamieh indicated that the kidnapped Imad Amhaz is a civilian naval officer.
He said: “The kidnapping of Amhaz took place 100 meters from his place of residence. If it is proven that the kidnapping took place via a naval landing, where is the implementation of Resolution 1701?”
Hamieh stressed that communication is underway with UNIFIL, as “the Lebanese coast is monitored by the peace-keeping forces periodically from Naqoura to Arida.”
