LBCI received a footage taken by one the Lebanese Armed Forces surveillance jets, depicting a group of terrorists transporting a hostage from a cave to another in the eastern mountainous regions back in 2017.
The video shows one person holding a gun towards another person handcuffed and blindfolded, surrounded by two others from the terrorist group.
At the time, the Lebanese army abstained from bombing the group or the cave, despite being a target, due to the presence of a detained man who was not free to move.
It is worth mentioning that the hostage appearing in the footage is not one of the Lebanese soldiers who were captured in the mountains.
