HEZBOLLAH leader Hassan Nasrallah said last night there was "positive progress" in negotiations to swap two Israeli soldiers captured last year for Lebanese prisoners.
Nasrallah said a limited exchange on Monday, in which Israel returned a prisoner and the bodies of two Hezbollah guerrillas in exchange for the body of an Israeli who drowned at sea two years ago, provided "an important incentive" for a future exchange.
Hezbollah's capture of two Israeli soldiers in July 2006 sparked a 34-day war between the Lebanese guerrillas and Israel.
