  • The Lebanese army received Ghazi at the Naqoura border crossing following his release by Israeli authorities, marking the first such formal handover in months.
  • Israeli media reports indicate the release is part of a broader arrangement involving up to five Lebanese civilian detainees being returned as a goodwill gesture tied to ongoing regional negotiations.
  • The handover follows U.S.-mediated discussions between Israeli and Lebanese officials aimed at maintaining regional stability and resolving outstanding detainee and humanitarian cases.
  • An estimated 30 or more Lebanese citizens remain in Israeli custody following military operations and security operations along the southern border.
