Just to point out that there are clear disputes on this. There are several press accounts that differ on the story.

However, I dont think that this is the point. This is a long and bloody conflict where lots of bad deeds have been committed on both sides and no single event can suddenly justify the war.

We need to step back from aggressions and address potential solutions and wars do not achieve that in any way shape or form!

Here is the article from AP:

Hezbollah Captures 2 Israeli Soldiers

The militant group Hezbollah captured two Israeli soldiers during clashes Wednesday across the border in southern Lebanon, prompting a swift reaction from Israel, which sent ground forces into its neighbor to look for them.

The forces were trying to keep the soldiers' captors from moving them deeper into Lebanon, Israeli government officials said on condition of anonymity.

The Israeli military would not confirm the report.

Earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert called an emergency Cabinet meeting and said Lebanese guerrillas would pay a "heavy price" for Wednesday's attacks.

"These are difficult days for the state of Israel and its citizens," Olmert said. "There are people ... who are trying to test our resolve. They will fail and they will pay a heavy price for their actions."
