The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced today, Thursday, August 21, the return of Israeli citizen Salah Abu Hussein to the country, after spending nearly a year held in Lebanon.
The office stated in an official statement that the process of returning Abu Hussein was completed after complex negotiations, mediated by the International Committee of the Red Cross, without revealing additional details regarding the circumstances of his detention or the reasons for his arrest in Lebanon.
The release of Abu Hussein is considered a rare step amid the ongoing tensions between Israel and Lebanon, as the entity that held him or the circumstances of his detention are still unknown, leaving many questions unanswered about the background of this case.
