had the soldiers been dead for 2 years?

I am not sure. I heard one report that said the 2 had been 'held' for a long while.

IIRC, before that last major Hizbolla-Israeli conflict about 2 years ago, 2 Israeli soldiers were captured by the Palis (not Hizbolla). One may have been returned alive after that conflict ended, but the other was not. This exchange may be that other soldier. (I haven't read/listened that closely to news to determine all the particulars.)
