The Israeli citizen who crossed over into Lebanon on Tuesday was found by Lebanese army forces, the Hezbollah-affiliated Al Mayadeen television channel reported on Thursday.
On Tuesday it was reported that a lone man dressed in an IDF uniform was spotted in southern Lebanon with a box full of pages printed in Hebrew script.
Lebanese social media reported that the man is not an Israeli, but a foreign national who was working in “the Zionist entity.”

The terror group Hezbollah released on its social media the information that he was arrested in the city of Tyre while shopping for clothes, he is said to be a Jewish-American.
Allegedly, the foreign national attempted to cross over into Lebanon via the village of Ayta ash Shab, the same village from which a Hezbollah unit attacked IDF forces, starting the 2006 Lebanon War.
IDF forces canvassed the norther border on Tuesday using helicopters, and Lebanese army forces and Hezbollah units searched for the man on the Lebanese side of the border.
It remains unclear what motivated him to cross into Lebanon.
