ISRAEL / LEBANON: Hezbollah prisoners held in Israeli jails

The Israel / Lebanese conflict all began with prisoners, detained for decades - or snatched just weeks ago. One Hezbollah leader has been held for 27 years, with another 500 still to serve. Samir Kuntar has become a symbol of all Arabs in Israeli jails: his release a personal crusade for Hezbollah's (Hizbullah Hezbullah) leader. Sayyad Hassan Nasrallah instructed his followers to abduct israeli soldiers as a bargaining chip to get Kuntar out of jail. Channel 4 News has spoken to the jailed man's brother, he holds out the prospect of a deal, but questions remain as to whether his release could really end the war.
