Israel has confirmed that human remains handed over by Lebanese militant group Hezbollah as part of a prisoner swap are those of two of its soldiers. Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser were seized in 2006 but until now there had been no confirmation of their deaths. Their capture sparked a month-long war between Israel and Hezbollah. Israel has handed over five Lebanese prisoners, including a man convicted of killing a child, and the bodies of 200 Lebanese and Palestinian fighters.
