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.

US Vice President Kamala Harris said on Saturday that the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, a mastermind of the attack that ignited the war in the Gaza Strip, presented an opportunity for a ceasefire in the Middle East.

"This creates an opening that I believe we must take full advantage of to dedicate ourselves to ending this war and bringing the hostages home," Harris told reporters.

"As it relates to the issues in the Middle East and in particular in that region, it has never been easy. But that doesn't mean we give up. It's always going to be difficult."

The Oct. 7 attack Sinwar planned on Israeli communities a year ago killed around 1,200 people, with another 253 dragged back to Gaza as hostages, according to Israeli tallies.

Israel's subsequent war has devastated Gaza, killing more than 42,500 Palestinians, with another 10,000 uncounted dead thought to lie under the rubble, Gaza health authorities say.
