Photo of Kantar on the left of the frame with other militants before his capture in 1979 \u003cbr/\u003eThe brother of the longest serving Lebanese prisoner in Israel, Samir Kantar, welcomed a decision by the Israeli Cabinet to release him in exchange for the bodies of two Israeli soldiers who Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert earlier on Sunday declared dead.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Israeli Cabinet voted overwhelmingly for the deal with Hezbollah, which in the past has sparked a fierce debate over whether Israel would be giving up too much - or carrying out its highest commitment to its soldiers to do everything possible to bring them home if they fell into enemy hands.\u003cbr/\u003eBassam Kantar, Samir Kantar's brother, hailed the decision when speaking to AP Television in Beirut.\u003cbr/\u003e\"It's a victory for Hezbollah, Lebanon, the Arab and Islamic world. It's a victory for all the people who believe in resistance as a way to liberate our land and to return back our beloved,\" he said.\u003cbr/\u003e\"All the family is preparing to welcome Samir in a way that he deserves, and also I think thousands of people are waiting for his freedom,\" Bassam Kantar added.\u003cbr/\u003eSamir Kantar, a Lebanese guerrilla, has been imprisoned for nearly 30 years for 1979 infiltration attack on a northern Israeli town etched in the Israeli psyche as one of the cruellest in the nation's history.\u003cbr/\u003eWitnesses said Kantar - then 16 - shot Danny Haran in front of his 4-year-old daughter, then smashed her skull against a rock with his rifle butt, killing her, too.\u003cbr/\u003eDuring the attack, Danny Haran's wife accidentally smothered their 2-year-old daughter in a frantic attempt to keep her quiet so Kantar and his comrades wouldn't find them in their apartment.\u003cbr/\u003eTwo Israeli policemen also were killed. Kantar denies killing the 4-year-old. \u003cbr/\u003eIn return for Kantar, Israel will receive the bodies of Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev, whom Hezbollah militants captured in a July 2006 cross-border raid that sparked a vicious, monthlong war.\u003cbr/\u003eHezbollah had offered no sign that Goldwasser and Regev were alive and the Red Cross was never allowed to see them. \u003cbr/\u003eAhead of the vote, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said for the first time that Israel has concluded the two soldiers were dead - killed during the raid or shortly after.\u003cbr/\u003eMeanwhile, activists for the Leftist Popular Democratic Party gathered in the southern city of Sidot to celebrate Kantar's imminent release.\u003cbr/\u003e\"We are preparing for another victory which is the release of Samir Kantar who is the longest serving prisoner in Israel,\" said activist Rana Sayyad in Sidot.\u003cbr/\u003eIn addition to the bodies, Israel will receive a report on a missing Israeli airman whose plane crashed in Lebanon in 1986, and body parts of other Israeli soldiers.\u003cbr/\u003eIn addition to Kantar, Lebanon will receive four imprisoned Hezbollah fighters, a dozen bodies, most of them Hezbollah militants, and an unspecified number of Palestinian prisoners. Hezbollah had demanded the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners. \u003cbr/\u003eCritics have argued that swapping bodies for Kantar would offer militant groups an even greater incentive to capture soldiers and less of a reason to keep captives alive.\u003cbr/\u003eIn addition to the two captured soldiers held in Lebanon, Israel is trying to win back a third soldier captured by Palestinian militants in a June 2006 cross-border raid from the Gaza Strip. \u003cbr/\u003eUnlike his comrades in Lebanon, the soldier has sent letters and an audio tape to his parents and is believed to be alive, though he has not been seen since his capture and the Red Cross has not been permitted to visit him.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container
