The Lebanese Red Cross has facilitated the release of seven Lebanese citizens detained by Israeli occupation forces after the ceasefire agreement, transporting them from the Ras Al-Naqoura border crossing, according to Al-Manar’s correspondent in southern Lebanon.
The correspondent also noted that the released individuals would undergo medical examinations at a hospital in Tyre before being handed over to Lebanese Army intelligence in Sidon.

This development follows the withdrawal of Israeli occupation forces from locations in the border town of Al-Naqoura, adjacent to occupied Palestine.
Ongoing Israeli Violations
In related developments, an Israeli occupation infantry unit, supported by armored Hummer vehicles, advanced this morning to the intersection of the Al-Mari and Ain Arab villages in the Marjayoun and Hasbaya districts of southern Lebanon. The Zionist troops raided homes in the village of “Rihanet Bari,” located near Al-Mari and north of the border town of Abbassieh.
Al-Manar’s correspondent reported that the advancing forces spread throughout the village while another Israeli enemy unit stationed itself on the outskirts of Ain Arab. These incursions are part of the Israeli enemy’s continued daily violations of the ceasefire agreement, which has been in place for roughly three weeks.
Explosions in Southern Villages
Israeli occupation forces also continued conducting explosions in various southern Lebanese villages, with the latest occurring today in the western sector, where loud detonations were heard. This follows a series of aggressions in the region yesterday.

During the night, explosions were reported in Kfar Kila and the eastern outskirts of Al-Taybeh. Israeli forces were observed moving from Al-Azziyah Hill, east of Al-Taybeh, toward Deir Mimas. The movement caused collisions with multiple vehicles in Deir Mimas as another Zionist unit blocked roads leading to the Al-Khardali area from the Deir Mimas side.
