BEIRUT, July 16 (Reuters) - Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah made a rare public appearance on Wednesday to greet five Lebanese prisoners freed by Israel as part of a prisoner exchange.

Nasrallah, whose movements are kept to a minimum for security reasons, attended a rally in Beirut to celebrate their release.
