Israel Agress to Release Terrorists in Exchange for Return of Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev
by John Little on 15/07/2008This doesn’t sound like cause for celebration. In fact, it sounds rather grim:
The exchange is scheduled to take place Wednesday morning at 9 A.M. at the Rosh Hanikra border crossing with Lebanon.
The deal will proceed in several stages: first Hezbollah will transfer Regev and Goldwasser – which, according to intelligence estimates, will involve the transfer of their bodies. If this is the case, then the IDF Rabbinate and the police will identify the bodies. After a positive identification, Kuntar and the other four Lebanese will be released, along with 199 Lebanese and Palestinian corpses, which will transferred to Lebanon.
The Goldwasser and Regev families will be given an opportunity to be united with their loved ones at an army base south of Nahariya.
Not much is known about the condition of the two Israelis:
Hizbullah has never allowed the International Red Cross Association or any other agency or private individual to ascertain their condition, nor has the group ever released information as to their status.
I guess all we can do is hope for the best.
