Lebanon celebrates prisoner swap
Jul 16 - Hezbollah has handed the bodies of two Israeli soldiers to the Red Cross in exchange for five Lebanese prisoners held by Israel.
The deal is being viewed as a triumph by the Lebanese Shi'ite group.
But many Israelis see it as a painful necessity, two years after the soldiers' capture sparked a 34-day war with Hezbollah that killed about 1,200 people in Lebanon and 159 Israelis.
The bodies of 200 Arabs killed trying to attack Israel have also been returned.
