It is my understanding is that this whole thing started as a Hezbollah plan for a "prisoner swap" in an effort to get some of their people in Israel out of prison. They have done this before and sadly, Israel negotiated and freed some prisoners.
So, wouldn't it have made more sense to just kill 8 prisoners? Six for the ones killed in the kidnapping and 2 for the kidnapped soldiers. Yes, this might be the death of the two hostaged soldiers, but it would have saved all the civilians and foiled the Hezbollah plan, making them empotent.
I know the international community would have cried and whined about it, but perhaps it would have prevented future acts of terrorism such as the one perpretated by this cowardly group of heavily armed thugs who hide behind children.
