The Times of Israel reports: The Israeli army arrested a mentally ill Lebanese man on Sunday, after he crossed the security fence, claiming he was pressured to do so by two Hezbollah operatives who had threatened to have him institutionalized.
A Hezbollah-affiliated media outlet identified the Lebanese man as Ali Mari, who crossed into Israel from Lebanon 10 months ago of his own volition.
