Report: Hezbollah to Release Captured Israeli Soldiers This Week......

Better late than never....

Beirut, 16 June(AKI) - Military sources in Lebanon expect the Shia Islamic militant group Hezbollah to release abducted Israeli soldiers Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev in a prisoner exchange next week, according to Middle East media reports.

The Lebanese newspaper As-Safir said on Monday the deal would take place between 20 and 25 June.

Hezbollah guerillas kidnapped Goldwasser and Regev in a cross-border raid sparking the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict.

The IDF soldiers are believed to have been badly wounded during their abduction and no proof has been offered that they are alive by Hezbollah, a Lebanon-based militant organisation.

News of the prospective prisoner exchange was widely published in Israeli newspapers on Monday.

Bad news. Scumbags are going to be released including the baby killer. I feel for the soldiers but this deal is worse than letting them rot in a Hezzie prison. Terror pays, kidnapping pays.

Terror always pays, Elric! Always!
