Israel, Hezbollah close to prisoner swap: source

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Lebanon's Hezbollah and Israel are putting the final touches on an agreement to exchange prisoners, a Lebanese political source said on Wednesday.

The deal, mediated by a U.N.-appointed German negotiator, would see Hezbollah returning two Israeli soldiers captured in 2006 for four Lebanese prisoners and the bodies of about 10 Hezbollah fighters. It is not clear whether either of the Israelis is still alive.
