The Israeli army has identified bodies handed over by Hezbollah as part of a prisoner swap as the two soldiers captured two years ago, Israel Radio says.

Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser were seized in a cross-border raid in 2006.

The bodies will be DNA tested to confirm their identity, then Israel says it will release five Lebanese prisoners.
