An Israeli citizen who crossed the border into Lebanon on January 30 has been returned to Israel by UN peacekeeping forces and the Red Cross, the military says.
The civilian, reportedly an Arab Israeli man in his 30s, was returned by UNIFIL and the International Committee of the Red Cross through the rarely used Rosh Hanikra Crossing a short while ago.
He is to be questioned by the Shin Bet security agency over the incident.
Meanwhile, the Israel Defense Forces is working to release another Israeli civilian who crossed into Lebanon on February 7. The man is thought to be held by the Lebanese army.
