Welcome to the President's Daily Brief. I'm Mike Baker, your eyes and ears on the world stage. All right, let's get briefed. We're starting today's show with new details about an Israeli raid in northern Lebanon. Commandos from Israel's elite naval unit captured a key Hezbollah operative, sparking outrage among Lebanese officials. We'll break down the details.
Later, Iran's Supreme Leader is issuing new threats against the U.S. and Israel, declaring that Iran has the capability to build nuclear weapons and warning of a, quote, to recent Israeli airstrikes. Now, honestly, the threat obviously lost something in the translation. I mean, tooth-breaking response probably lacks the pizzazz that the Supreme Leader was going for.
Plus, bipartisan leaders in Washington are urging President Biden to greenlight a plan for Poland to extend its air defenses into Ukraine, potentially shielding Ukrainian skies from Russian missiles. Stand by for more nuclear saber-rattling from Russian President Putin and his minions. And in today's Back of the Brief, the U.S.
State Department has announced that an Iranian American journalist has been imprisoned by the Iranian regime for months. But first, today's PDB Spotlight. Details are surfacing about a daring Israeli raid deep into northern Lebanon this weekend that resulted in the capture of a Hezbollah operative.
Now, this mission was unusual for Israeli ground forces as it marked their first operation in northern Lebanon. Previously, Israeli forces limited ground activities to the south, while northern targets were usually struck by air. The raid was carried out by Israel's version of the U.S. Navy SEALs.
They specialize in sea-to-land incursions, underwater warfare, sabotage, and maritime intelligence gathering. The target was a man named Emad Amaz in the town of Batrun, about 87 miles north of Israel's border. Now, according to Israeli sources speaking to Axios, Amaz is responsible for Hezbollah's naval operations.
According to reports, the Israeli commandos donned Lebanese military uniforms to blend in, enabling them to move swiftly through Batroun. Lebanon's national news agency described the scene, saying an unidentified military force made a covert landing on Batroon's beach and quickly moved to a nearby chalet where they apprehended Hamas before retreating by speedboats into the open sea.
Surveillance footage of the incident showed a man with his hands pinned behind his back being led away by a column of soldiers. The entire operation was reportedly completed in only four minutes, with around 20 commandos reportedly involved. Sources suggest Israeli operatives had been conducting surveillance and reconnaissance in the area prior to the raid.
