Israel takes captive a wounded Lebanese soldier
by Naharnet Newsdesk 10 March 2025, 14:20 Israel took captive an off-duty Lebanese soldier after he was wounded Sunday in a combing operation in the southern border town of Kfarshouba, the Al-Arabiya TV network reported on Monday. 'The captive Lebanese soldier underwent a surgery and is still inside Israel,' the TV network added, noting that the soldier hails from Kfarshouba and was in civilian clothes when he was captured. 'The family of the soldier Ziad Shibli has been informed tha an Israeli army force captured him after he was shot and wounded while riding his motorbike on the Halta-Bostra road,' reports said. Seven Hezbollah fighters also remain in Israel's captivity following the latest war with Israel. A November 27 truce largely halted more than a year of hostilities between Hezbollah and Israel, including two months of full-blown war in which Israel sent in ground troops. Israel has continued to carry out periodic strikes on Lebanese territory since the agreement took effect. Israel had been due to withdraw from Lebanon by February 18 after missing a January deadline, but it has kept troops at five locations it deems "strategic". The ceasefire also required Hezbollah to pull back north of the Litani River, about 30 kilometers (20 miles) from the border, and to dismantle any remaining military infrastructure in the south.
