Israeli citizen freed after one year in Lebanese prison, mediated by Red Cross

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office announced that an Israeli citizen, Saleh Abu Hussein, held in Lebanon for about a year, was released and returned to Israel on Thursday afternoon.

His transfer followed months of negotiations mediated by the International Committee of the Red Cross.

Abu Hussein was handed over by Lebanese authorities in Ras Naqoura to Brigadier General Gal Hirsch, the Israeli army's coordinator for the operation.
