GOLDEN INTELLIGENCE: How Givati Commandos Captured Elite Radwan Force Members Alive

New details emerged Monday evening regarding a high-stakes encounter in Southern Lebanon, where soldiers from the Givati Brigade's Shaked Battalion successfully captured two elite Radwan Force terrorists. The operation, reported by Yinon Yatach, marks a significant intelligence coup for the IDF as the ground maneuver intensifies.

The drama unfolded Sunday deep within the operational sector of Division 91. Givati forces were advancing to demolish a structure in a Lebanese village suspected of housing terror infrastructure.

As the troops stormed the building under heavy suppressive fire, they discovered the two Radwan operatives in an inner room, positioned and ready to launch an anti-tank missile at the advancing Israeli force.

Caught off guard by the speed and ferocity of the Givati breach, the terrorists were unable to deploy their heavy weaponry. Realizing they were cornered, the two elite fighters chose to surrender, emerging with their hands up.

They were immediately transferred to Unit 504 (HUMINT), where they are being interrogated. Military sources describe the pair as "Intelligence Gold," as they are among the first high-level Radwan operatives captured alive during this maneuver.

Israeli soldiers were stunned by the sheer volume of weaponry packed into the small residential room. The haul included AK-47 assault rifles, anti-tank missiles and launchers, hand grenades and crates of ammunition.

Strategic Impact

The capture of live Radwan operatives provides the IDF with more than just physical weapons; it provides a roadmap of Hezbollah’s defensive lines. Intelligence gathered from these captives is expected to reveal the locations of nearby tunnel shafts and hidden launch sites used to target northern Israeli communities
