Israel vs. Hezbollah in Lebabon: It’s not over yet (?)
Yesterday, five Lebanese prisoners were released by Israel and returned to Lebanon, where they were welcomed as heroes only “hours after Hezbollah [had] handed over the bodies of two Israeli soldiers [who had been] seized by its guerrillas two years ago. After being transported to Lebanon by the International Committee of the Red Cross, the five freed prisoners were taken by helicopter to Beirut, “where they were accorded a red-carpet welcome by Lebanese President Michel Suleiman, Prime Minister Fouad Siniora, Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, the entire cabinet and a host of lawmakers and religious leaders.” At the outdoor reception for the freed five, Suleiman said: “Your return is a new victory and the future in your presence will be a path in which we will realize the sovereignty of our territory and the liberty of our people.” (Agence France Presse)
