Israel says it has signed an agreement to swap prisoners with the Lebanese Hezbollah guerrillas.
A statement from the Israeli government says the deal was signed in front of a UN representative.
The Israelis say implementation of the deal depends on carrying out further steps. It did not say what they are.
Israel will hand over Samir Kantar, serving multiple life terms for a 1979 attack in Israel's north, as well as four Hezbollah prisoners and dozens of bodies of fighters.
In return, Israel is to receive two soldiers captured by Hezbollah in a 2006 cross-border raid that set off a fierce 34-day war.
