Israel is getting ready to carry out a long-awaited prisoner swap with Hezbollah after the Israeli Cabinet gave final approval for the exchange on Tuesday.
A prisoner swap between Israel and Hezbollah is set for Wednesday, but first the Israeli Cabinet will review the deal one last time on Tuesday, the government said.
Israel has signed a U.N.-brokered deal with Hezbollah under which it plans to release prisoners in exchange for two captured Israeli soldiers, both presumed dead, the Israeli prime minister's office said Monday.
Israel agreed to release a notorious killer Sunday in order to bring closure to the families of three missing military men, a government spokesman said.
