The Lebanese Army received Ziad Chebly at the Naqoura crossing earlier on Thursday, marking the release of the last of five prisoners that Israel said it would release as a “goodwill gesture". 

Israel and Lebanon have agreed to begin negotiations to resolve longstanding disputes over their land border, sources confirmed to Axios earlier this week.

Israeli troops captured Chebly, a Lebanese soldier, on Sunday during a sweeping operation in the southern border town of Kfarshouba. He was off duty and dressed in civilian clothes when he was shot and detained by Israeli forces. Chebly sustained gunshot wounds while riding his motorcycle on the Halta-Bastra road.

Chebly was transferred to Lebanon by the Red Cross, and has been taken to a hospital to continue his treatment for the injuries he sustained during his arrest.

On Wednesday, Lebanon received four Lebanese nationals who were held captives by Israel, including a member of Hezbollah, as reported by Axios, citing two US officials.
