The Israeli military said its troops in Lebanon had captured a Hezbollah fighter, the first such announcement since it launched a cross-border ground offensive, AFP reports

The army said that the fighter surrendered to its soldiers, who “interrogated him on-site and then transferred him to a detention facility for further questioning within Israel”.

In a video clip released with the statement, a group of Israeli soldiers can be seen speaking in Arabic with the Hezbollah fighter as he slowly emerges from the tunnel.

“Come out before your life is over,” the Israeli soldiers are heard calling to the Hezbollah fighter.
