Israel revives Lebanese Jews case to block Beirut’s 34-detainee demand

BEIRUT: Israel has responded to Lebanese demands for the release of 34 Lebanese detainees with what Lebanese sources described as an “impossible” condition: information on Lebanese Jews who disappeared during the civil war in the 1980s and the return of their remains. The Lebanese Association for Prisoners and Freed Detainees has documented 34 Lebanese held in Israeli prisons, including three detained in 1978, 1981 and 2005. The remaining 31 include 10 Hezbollah fighters, two nurses detained while accompanying Hezbollah members who were arrested, and 21 civilians.
