I've Been Thinking:

It looks like a deal is in the works - maybe even as early as Friday if you trust Lebanese news.
A deal between Israel and Hezbollah - with the Germans in the middle.

The deal, which has also been confirmed by Israeli sources, would involve a prisoner exchange. One source, Zvi Goldwasser, is paying very close attention to the deal - it involves his son.
Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev, the two Israeli soldiers captured on July 12, 2006 which started the 34 day war between Israel and Hezbollah would be returned to Israel.

Notorious Hezbollah terrorist Samir Kuntar will be part of the exchange package. Israel has been holding on to Kuntar as their last possible chip with which to bargain for Ron Arad, captured twenty-two years ago. But it has become clear to Israeli Prime Minister Olmert that Hezbollah has no new information about Arad.

So Kuntar will be exchanged along with four live Lebanese prisoners captured in 2006.
There is no information as to whether the Israelis are still alive or dead.
Either way, they will be turned over to Israel.

The exchange will take place in Germany.
Israel does not want to encourage a Hezbollah celebration in Southern Lebanon, near the Israeli border.
