Lebanon confirmed the release of another soldier kidnapped by Israel on March 9, facilitated by the International Red Cross. This follows the release of four detainees and five released by Israel as part of ongoing agreements aimed at stabilizing the region, mediated by the US and France.
The Lebanese Armed Forces have confirmed the release of a soldier, previously kidnapped by Israel on March 9. The soldier was received through the International Red Cross on Thursday and subsequently transported to a hospital for necessary medical care. This event follows the earlier release of four detainees by Israel amid its conflict with Hezbollah.
The ongoing release of detainees is part of a broader agreement facilitated by the United States, France, and Lebanon, which aims to promote stability within the region. In a related gesture, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office previously verified the release of five Lebanese detainees in acknowledgment of Lebanon’s new president. US Deputy Special Envoy for the Middle East, Morgan Ortagus, indicated that the released detainees included both civilians and soldiers.
The release of the soldier marks a significant step in the ongoing dialogue between Lebanon and Israel. Mediated by key international players, these exchanges of detainees reflect efforts towards regional stability and peaceful relations. The situation continues to evolve as Lebanon navigates its new leadership amid complex geopolitical tensions.
