Along with the operation to capture Amhaz, the Shayetet 13 was also deployed in southern Lebanon to carry out a raid on an underground Hezbollah compound filled with weapons.
Amhaz's arrest came the same day Israeli military claimed it killed a top Hezbollah commander Abu Ali Rida.
The IDF accused him of overseeing rocket and anti-tank missile attacks against Israeli forces in southern Lebanon. The military announced his killing without specifying the date on which he was killed.
Rida "was responsible for planning and executing rocket and anti-tank missile attacks on IDF (military) troops and oversaw the terrorist activities of Hezbollah operatives in the area", the military said in a statement.
