A humanitarian incident of a citizen who crossed the border and was returned to Israel: Tonight (Thursday), an Israeli citizen who crossed the border a few weeks ago was returned from Lebanon. The citizen was returned through the Rosh Hanikra crossing, in coordination with UNIFIL, and was transferred for questioning by security officials.
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, in his twenties.
The IDF Spokesman, Brigadier General Ran Kochav: “It is not clear why the citizen passed, he crossed the border on foot in the center of the sector. We were following him and we think he did it of his own free will. “He is not mentally healthy and has a criminal record. He was treated in Lebanon. This is a humanitarian incident, but we do not know for sure and are assessing the situation. When we know more details, we will update.”
