IDF Exposes Hezbollah’s Secret Maritime Terror Infrastructure Directed by Nasrallah
The IDF reveals Hezbollah’s secret maritime terror network overseen by Hassan Nasrallah, exposing civilian cover, Iranian backing, and a foiled naval threat.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) revealed on Friday details of Hezbollah’s highly classified “maritime file,” a covert project to build an organized naval terror infrastructure disguised as civilian operations, aimed at targeting Israeli and international assets.
Approximately one year ago, elite fighters from the Navy’s Shayetet 13 commando unit conducted Operation “Behind the Back” in the northern Lebanese town of Batroun, about 140 kilometers from Israel’s border.
Guided by Naval Intelligence, the forces captured Imad Amahez, a central figure in the secret maritime project and a member of Hezbollah’s coastal missile unit (Unit 7900). Amahez was transferred to Israel for interrogation. Amahez had undergone military training in Iran and Lebanon, acquiring extensive naval expertise for maritime terror operations. He was also trained at the Lebanese civilian maritime institute “Marsti,” illustrating Hezbollah’s systematic exploitation of civilian institutions to advance its military goals.
During questioning, Amahez disclosed critical intelligence about the project, one of Hezbollah’s most sensitive and guarded initiatives. He described a structured maritime terror network operating under civilian cover to strike Israeli and international targets.
The program was personally overseen by the late Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, senior commander Fouad Shukr (eliminated during the war), and Ali Abdul Hassan Nour al-Din, who was directly responsible for the secret maritime file.Thanks to the disruption of the project’s command chain and the intelligence provided by Amahez, the IDF succeeded in halting its progress at a critical stage, preventing the infrastructure from fully maturing within Hezbollah.
Hezbollah continues to develop the secret maritime file and other naval capabilities with extensive Iranian ideological and material support, diverting massive resources from Lebanon’s reconstruction and state institutions toward terrorism.
The IDF stated it will continue to operate across all arenas and with all available means to neutralize threats to the citizens of Israel.
