A LIST OF REPORTS INDICATING THE ISRAELI SOLDIERS WERE KIDNAPPED IN LEBANON AND NOT ISRAEL

Here is a link to a page which contains a list of reports indicating that the two Israeli soldiers, who Israel say they are trying to rescue, were kidnapped while they were on Lebanese soil. Israeli sources say that Hizb Allah had attacked a patrol with a rocket, and then kidnapped the two survivors by crossing the border into Israel.

The Lebanese Shiite Hezbollah movement announced on Wednesday that its guerrillas have captured two Israeli soldiers in southern Lebanon. "Implementing our promise to free Arab prisoners in Israeli jails, our strugglers have captured two Israeli soldiers in southern Lebanon," a statement by Hezbollah said. "The two soldiers have already been moved to a safe place," it added. The Lebanese police said that the two soldiers were captured as they "infiltrated" into the town of Aitaa al-Chaab inside the Lebanese border. [Hindustan Times 7/12/06]

The Lebanese Hezbollah movement announced Wednesday the arrest of two Israeli soldiers in southern Lebanon. Lebanese police said that the two soldiers were arrested as they entered the town of Aitaa al-Chaab inside the Lebanese border. Israeli aircraft were active in the air over southern Lebanon, police said, with jets bombing roads leading to the market town of Nabatiyeh, 60 kilometers south of Beirut.

If these are true then along with the spies being told to identify targets it could be argued that Israel provoked the current conflict by sending that patrol into Lebanon, possibly hoping the soldiers would be kidnapped (the aim of Hizb Allah is to gain the release of prisoners through prisoner exchanges).
