The Israeli military said a senior Hezbollah operative was captured in a naval raid in the northern Lebanese town of Batroun on Friday.

“I have heard from Republicans that there is concern at the Trump campaign, amongst the operatives that actually do know the political wherewithal that the turnout and enthusiasm numbers are not where they need to be,” the Bush-era operative said.

A judge has said a former government operative has shown evidence of malice in a 2021 report on organizations that took payments to help Afghans evacuate during U.S. military’s exit.
