Lebanon confirms another soldier freed by Israel

EPA-EFE/WAEL HAMZEH

The Lebanese Armed Forces announced on X that on Thursday, they received, through the International Red Cross, a soldier kidnapped by Israel on March 9. He was transferred to a hospital for medical treatment.

This follows Lebanon's earlier reception of four detainees released by Israel during its war with Hezbollah. The releases were part of a broader agreement mediated by the US, France, and Lebanon, aimed at stabilizing the region.

Previously, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office confirmed the release of five Lebanese detainees as a gesture to Lebanon's new president. US Deputy Special Envoy for the Middle East Morgan Ortagus told Al-Jadeed that the detainees were a mix of civilians and soldiers.
