The Red Cross on Friday said it had facilitated the transfer to Lebanon of four more people detained by ‘Israel’, a day after a first person was freed.
The Israeli enemy is believed to have seized dozens of people from Lebanon amidst its recent wars on Lebanon.
“The International Committee of the Red Cross, at the request of the relevant parties, facilitated the transfer to Lebanon of five individuals released from Israeli detention,” the ICRC said in a statement.
“One individual was transferred on Thursday, and four others on Friday,” it added.
‘Israel’ on Thursday said it had decided to release five civilian captives, freeing the first of them that day.
The four freed on Friday are two Lebanese and two Syrian nationals, according to a Lebanese official who requested anonymity.
Video circulated on social media showed ICRC vehicles arrive from Israeli-occupied parts of southern Lebanon at the Lebanese army checkpoint in Al-Amiriya.
The convoy was escorted by two Lebanese army vehicles to the southern city of Tyre, where the released individuals were to undergo medical examinations and be questioned by the military.
