> Israel has released Lebanese civilian Malek Ghazi and pledged to free five more detainees, saying interrogations found they were not members of a terrorist organisation or involved in terrorism. Ghazi was transferred to the Lebanese army through the ICRC, marking the first release since US-brokered Beirut-Tel Aviv talks began in April. Lebanon’s prime minister welcomed the move and vowed to pursue the release of all prisoners.
