Israel released five detainees to Lebanon following US-mediated negotiations, part of an ongoing process to resolve the status of Lebanese nationals held by Israel amid the broader Israel-Hezbollah conflict fallout. Dozens of Lebanese citizens remain in Israeli detention. The Red Cross said it facilitated the transfer of four additional people from Israeli detention to Lebanon on Friday, a day after one more person was freed, bringing the total number released in this recent wave to at least nine. The releases continue a broader, incremental process of resolving detainee cases stemming from Israel's war against Hezbollah.
