Maglan Commandos' Secret Deep-Enemy Raid Against Hezbollah Revealed
An Israeli special forces operation, codenamed "Northern Arrows," conducted nearly two years ago deep within enemy territory, has now been declassified. For two years, the details of this mission by the elite Maglan unit remained a closely guarded secret.
During the operation, Maglan fighters executed a daring raid, advancing 13 kilometers into enemy lines. They systematically dismantled Hezbollah's defensive positions in the town of Al-Khyam, Lebanon, and took control of the city in under 48 hours. The operation was described as a "flagship battle" for the commandos.
The mission's success was highlighted by a quote from a participant who stated, "We finished the battle, and I said, 'That's it - I'm retiring at my peak.'" The full documentary detailing the operation has now been released.
