An Israeli Bedouin was returned from Lebanon this evening (Thursday) after crossing the border into the country several weeks ago. The Bedouin was returned through the Rosh Hanikra crossing, in coordination with UNIFIL, and was transferred for questioning by security officials.
The assessment among security officials is that the citizen crossed the border into Lebanon voluntarily and consciously. It was also learned that the young man has a criminal background. At this stage, it is estimated that this is a humanitarian event, but other directions are being examined.
According to a report on Ynet, some claim that this is a young man – whose name is not allowed to be published – who is running for his life. In recent weeks, the Foreign Ministry has handled the case.
The IDF said: “The issue was addressed by security and foreign officials throughout his stay. Based on the characteristics of the crossing, it appears that the citizen moved to Lebanese territory voluntarily and consciously. This is a young Israeli from the Negev region. “
