It happened so often. In January 2004, for example, Israel freed 436 Arab prisoners and released the bodies of 59 Lebanese for burial, in return for an Israeli spy and the bodies of three Israeli soldiers.
As long ago as 1985, three Israeli soldiers captured in 1982 were traded for 1,150 Lebanese and Palestinian prisoners.
Although, Hizbollah knows - the Israelis thirst for Muslims blood, it is for the first time Israel is facing two Islamic Mujahideen - in southern Lebanon and in Gaza - rather than nationalist guerrillas.
