Israel and the Lebanese group Hezbollah have begun a prisoner exchange along the Israel-Lebanon border. Earlier today, Hezbollah handed over coffins believed to contain the bodies of two Israeli soldiers captured during Israel’s attack on Lebanon two years ago. In return, Israel has released the bodies of around 200 Lebanese and Palestinian fighters. It’s also expected to release another five living prisoners. More than 10,000 Palestinian and Lebanese prisoners remain in Israeli jails.
