Beirut Swap: Jewish Bodies for Lebanese Prisoners
The article details the prisoner exchange deal between Lebanon and Israel, where the Israeli occupation demands the return of the bodies of Lebanese Jews kidnapped, linked to the 1982 war incidents, in exchange for the release of Lebanese prisoners held in Israeli prisons. It explains that the Jewish population in Lebanon once reached up to 10,000 before the mid-1970s, and that acts of violence and the Israeli invasion led to the killing of many and the emigration of the vast majority. Additionally, it notes that Israel seeks to recover the bodies of Jews buried in the Beit El Fin cemetery in Beirut, which dates back to the 19th century and contains about two thousand graves. The article also states that the number of Lebanese prisoners in Israel is approximately 35, the oldest of whom have been detained since 1979. This current exchange deal comes within an agreement sponsored by the United States, following five previous exchanges, and is part of ongoing efforts to facilitate Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon.
