Lebanon received through the International Red Cross (IRC) on Monday a Lebanese citizen who crossed the border into Israel few days ago.

The Lebanese Army Intelligence received the individual at the Ras Naqoura crossing.

Earlier, press in Tel Aviv reported that Israeli army arrested a Lebanese citizen after crossing the border on Sunday.

The Israeli security launched an investigation to determine his motives. However, he was later released and handed over to a UNIFEL.

Other sources claimed that he suffered from mental illness.

Three months ago, the Israeli army announced a state of high alert after Hezbollah declared it would avenge the assassination of one of its members during an Israeli raid in Syria last July.

Two Killed in Israeli Strike North of Lebanon’s Capital

At least two people were killed in an Israeli strike near the Christian-majority town of Jounieh, north of Beirut, Lebanon's health ministry said on Saturday, in the first attack on the area by Israeli forces.

The Israeli military was looking into the report of the strike in Jounieh, a spokesperson said. There was no immediate comment from Hezbollah, the Lebanese armed group that is fighting Israeli troops on Lebanon's southern border and whose top leadership has suffered blows from targeted Israeli strikes.

The health ministry said the Israeli strike targeted a car.

Two witnesses told Reuters they heard a small blast and saw a Honda sports utility vehicle travelling on the main highway south in the direction of Beirut begin to lose control.

The car stopped about 100 meters down the highway and a man and a woman ran out of the vehicle and into a grassy area on the side of the highway before another blast, the witnesses said.

One witness saw the charred remains of a person in the grassy area.
