The Secret War on Mount Dov: Terror Cell Leader Taken in High-Stakes Operation | WATCH
Israeli elite commandos have conducted a daring midnight raid into southern Lebanon, successfully capturing a high-ranking commander of the Hezbollah-funded "Lebanese Brigades."
In a sophisticated night-time operation that highlights Israel’s deepening ground intelligence in the current war, the elite Egoz unit has successfully captured a cell commander from the "Lebanese Brigades" terrorist organization. The mission took place in the rugged terrain of the Mount Dov region in southern Lebanon, a strategic area that has seen intense friction since the war began. By crossing the border under the cover of darkness, the commandos were able to surprise the terrorist operative in his own territory, neutralizing a key figure responsible for directing attacks against Israeli forces.
The Capture of the "Lebanese Brigades" Leader
The "Lebanese Brigades" is a terrorist organization that serves as a direct proxy for Hezbollah, receiving full financial backing, training, and strategic direction from the larger Lebanese group. The terrorists within this organization are tasked with executing specific terror plots and cross-border raids targeting Israel Defense Forces (IDF) personnel. The capture of this cell commander is the result of an extensive and meticulous intelligence follow-up by the 210th Division, which identified the operative’s location and movement patterns over several weeks.
During the special operation on Tuesday night, Egoz soldiers utilized advanced night-vision technology and body cameras to document the arrest. The released footage shows the precision of the unit as they closed in on the target, rendering the commander unable to resist or alert nearby cells. Following the arrest, the terrorist was immediately transported across the border into Israeli territory, where he was handed over to Unit 504, the IDF’s specialized human intelligence division, for an intensive interrogation.
Military officials believe that the information gained from this high-level prisoner will provide critical insights into the "Lebanese Brigades" operational structure and their coordination with Hezbollah’s central command. As the war continues to expand, these targeted "snatch-and-grab" missions are becoming a vital component of Israel’s strategy to dismantle the secondary layers of the Iranian-backed terror network in Lebanon. The success of the Mount Dov raid sends a clear message to the regime’s proxies that even the most hidden commanders remain within reach of Israeli special forces.
