The Israeli army claims it has captured a Hezbollah member in south Lebanon it said was hiding in a tunnel.

It said that Israeli soldiers encircled a building and scanned the tunnel opening where they “found an underground compound about seven meters deep” where the Hezbollah member was said to be found.

The army also claimed that they found weapons and supplies for extended use.

The soldiers in the video were speaking in Arabic as they asked the alleged fighter to come out of the tunnel.

It added that the member was arrested and interrogated before being taken away and “transferred to a detention facility for further investigation inside Israeli territory.”

The army didn’t specify where in south Lebanon the alleged capture took place or when.

Some media reports have suggested that the video shared by the Israeli army is old or has been fabricated. Hezbollah has not commented yet on the Israeli claims.

Yemen Details was unable to independently verify the footage or the Israel army’s claims.
