JERUSALEM — The Israeli government said Thursday that it had decided to release five Lebanese prisoners, in what would be a rare sign of progress amid struggling negotiations between Lebanon and Israel.
Israel releases Lebanese people who have been deported by the army. Is the new momentum in negotiations with Beirut to end the conflict with the Hizbullah?
The International Committee of the Red Cross announced in a statement on Friday that, at the request of the Lebanese government and the Israeli occupation government, it had transferred five Lebanese citizens to Lebanon after their release from Israeli occupation prisons.
