Israel hands over first Lebanese detainee amid ongoing conflict

On Thursday, Israel freed Lebanese civilian Malek Ghazi, marking the initial prisoner transfer since the hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah erupted six months ago. The ICRC managed the handover process in the Lebanese city of Tyre. Authorities anticipate the release of four additional civilians this Friday. This development comes after mediation efforts led by the US, which included Lebanon's cooperation in helping to recover the remains of Lebanese Jewish figures who were kidnapped during the 1980s.
