BEIRUT, Lebanon, May 5 (UPI) -- Hezbollah will give Israel information on a missing navigator and the bodies of three soldiers in exchange for prisoners, Ha'aretz reported Wednesday.
The three soldiers have been missing since the 1982 battle of Sultan Yaqub and Israeli Air Force navigator Ron Arad has been missing since he was shot down over Lebanon in 1986, according to the Lebanese Al Mustakbal newspaper.
In return, Israel will release Samir Kuntar, who in 1979 killed four Israelis, including a policeman and three family members, one of them a 2-year-old girl, in the northern city of Nahariya.
Also Wednesday, Arab sources told Ha'aretz that Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah will demand Israel release all prisoners from the Golan Heights and some Israeli Arab detainees.
Israel has previously refused to release Israeli Arab and Druze prisoners in such deals, arguing their arrests were an "internal Israeli matter."
