The Israeli Army has released Lebanese soldier Abdo Mohammed Abdel-Al, who was detained after crossing into Israeli territory on Saturday while helping his brother herd livestock in the al-Majidiye plain, located in southern Lebanon.
A military source in the Lebanese Army confirmed to a foreign media outlet that "Israeli forces arrested a Lebanese soldier yesterday in the town of al-Majidiye, south of Lebanon, and took him into Israel. He was released a short while ago."
On the other hand, the Lebanese Army announced the reopening of the main road leading to Khiam, which runs from the northern to the southern part of the town. Lebanese soldiers have been working to clear debris and unexploded ordnance left by previous Israeli airstrikes, while also deploying in coordination with the five-member ceasefire monitoring committee as part of an ongoing military deployment in the region.
Overnight, Israeli forces targeted the area between Manara and Mays al-Jabal with heavy machine gun fire. Meanwhile, Israeli drones continued to fly over Beirut and its southern suburbs, maintaining a constant aerial presence.
Israeli Army spokesperson Avichai Adraee later confirmed military activities across six key locations in southern Lebanon. On his official X (formerly Twitter) account, Adraee posted a series of statements, videos, and images detailing Israeli operations. He stated that "operatives were eliminated and numerous Hezbollah structures were destroyed," adding that several "military campaigns" had been carried out in areas including Kfar Kila, Odaisseh, Rab al-Thalathin, Markaba, Taybeh and Khiam.
