Israeli Returned after Crossing into Lebanon
An Israeli man who crossed the border into Lebanon was sent back and handed over to police, the Israeli army said in a statement on Friday.
It said his return was made possible thanks to "the efficiency and determination" of the U.N. Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) which worked in cooperation with the Lebanese army.
Military sources said the 30-year-old man who was returned to Israel overnight is apparently mentally ill.
Israel fought a 34-day war against Hizbullah in 2006 that killed more than 1,200 people in Lebanon and 160 Israelis.
