A Lebanese political source told MTV that "Lebanon has received the prisoner Malik Ghazi, who will head to Saida Hospital and then return home."

The source revealed that "the release of one or more prisoners was intended as support for direct negotiations, and it was expected that the first prisoner, Malik Ghazi, would be released yesterday, but it was postponed to today for logistical reasons."

He added: "Lebanon had been promised the release of five prisoners since the start of the talks, and it remains unclear whether it will receive the other four today or tomorrow."
