31/05/2008 Nassim Nisr, who has been detained in Israel, will be released on Sunday as a preliminary step toward the release of Lebanese detainee Samir Kuntar. A ceremony is to be held Sunday morning to welcome the long-awaited detainee. Nisr will be deported from Occupied Palestine and preparations are underway to receive five Lebanese detainees and the bodies of ten Hezbollah resistance fighters who fell during the Israeli aggression against Lebanon in July in exchange for two of Israeli occupation soldiers captured by Hezbollah in 2006. Meanwhile, Israeli daily Yediot Aharonot military correspondent quoted German mediator as saying that the two Israeli soldiers are likely to be dead. Nassim Nisr was born in 1968 to an Israeli-Jewish mother and a Lebanese Muslim father and left Lebanon during the Israeli invasion in 1982 to join his mother's family near Tel Aviv. Nisr's mother Valentine, 70, now lives in the village of Bazouryeh in southern Lebanon, and said that she had been informed of her son's imminent release.
