The first phase of a prisoner exchange between Israel and Hamas is scheduled for July 10, Palestinian news agency Maan reported July 6, citing unnamed Palestinian sources. The first of the three phases will involve Israel's release of Samir al-Qunta and three other Lebanese prisoners. The second phase is set to begin six days later, and the third is set for several days after the second. The Maan report does not say when Hezbollah will release Israeli soldiers Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev. Israel has previously told Hezbollah that it needs 10 days from the time the deal is signed to complete the prisoner exchange, and the swap was expected to begin around July 20.
