Why it matters:
The report indicates that the intelligence confrontation between Israel and Hezbollah has entered a deeper and more sensitive phase.
Israeli concerns center on the scope and precision of Hezbollah’s intelligence regarding energy infrastructure and maritime activity in the Mediterranean.
The big picture:
A military source cited by the newspaper said a significant portion of the information served as the foundation for a recent Israeli Navy drill in the Mediterranean. The multi-day exercise included scenarios involving combat on multiple fronts.
The Israeli military had previously disclosed a commando operation in November 2024 in which it abducted Imad Amahz from Lebanon’s Batroun coast, who had ties to Hezbollah.
