Israeli army claims to have captured Hezbollah fighter in Lebanon

The Israeli military claimed on Sunday that its troops in Lebanon had captured a Hezbollah member, marking the first such incident since launching its cross-border ground offensive.

"During limited, localised and targeted raids based on precise intelligence… soldiers discovered an underground tunnel shaft," the army said in a statement.

The troops encircled the area, investigated the tunnel, and found an underground compound where a Hezbollah fighter was hiding, along with weapons and equipment.

While the army did not specify the timing of the capture, Hezbollah has yet to comment on the incident.
