Nassim Nisr, who has been imprisoned in 'Israel', will be released on Sunday as a preliminary step toward the release of Lebanese prisoner Samir Kuntar. A ceremony is to be held Sunday morning to welcome the long-awaited prisoner.
Nisr will be deported from 'Israel' and preparations are underway to receive five Lebanese prisoners and the bodies of ten Hizbullah resistance fighters who fell during the July 2006 war with 'Israel' in exchange for two of 'Israeli' soldiers captured by Hizbullah in 2006.
Meanwhile, Yedeot Ahronot military correspondent quoted German mediator as saying that the two 'Israeli' soldiers are likely to be dead.
Nassim Nisr was born in 1968 to an 'Israeli'-Jewish mother and a Lebanese Muslim father and left Lebanon during the 'Israeli' invasion in 1982 to join his mother's family near Tel Aviv. Nisr's mother Valentine, 70, now lives in the village of Bazouryeh in southern Lebanon, and said that she had been informed of her son's imminent release.
