LEBANON/FILE: Hizbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah says two seized Israeli soldiers seized will not be released without a prisoner swap

Hizbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is apparently alive and well. He appeared in an interview on Al-Jazeera television on Thursday (July 20). Earlier in the day Israeli warplanes pounded a building in Beirut's southern suburbs, dropping 23 tonnes of explosives on it. They suspected senior members of Hizbollah were holed up there. But Hizbollah say the bombs actually hit a mosque under construction and none of their members were killed in the raid. In the interview on Al-Jazeera Nasrallah said the group's leadership was intact. He also said the two Israeli soldiers seized last week would not be released without a prisoner swap through indirect negotiations. Nasrallah's whereabouts are unknown and the Jazeera correspondent who conducted the interview said it took place amid heavy security procedures and did not know where he was.
