The head of the Lebanese government, Najib Mikati, announced on Tuesday the release of "nine Lebanese detainees from Israeli prisons"...

"The release of the nine Lebanese detainees was the result of cooperation between Lebanon and the United Nations coordinator in the Middle East, especially after the efforts made by the German mediator. I would like to thank the director of the public security apparatus for carrying out this mission with effectiveness and professionalism," said Mikati.

The recent tension between Lebanon and Israel is linked to the issue of maritime borders related to oil and gas exploration.
