Yo: I've been surfing around trying to find an account of WHERE the Israeli soldiers were captured or kidnapped by Hizbollah about two weeks ago.

Has anyone seen an account of that location? I ask because I heard something today (whether it's true or not, I don't know) to the effect that some or all of the captures occured with the soldiers just inside the Lebanese border.
Again, I don't know, but I'm curious about it.

Also, wasn't there a kidnapping of some Palestinians in Gaza prior to the kidnapping of the Israeli soldiers.

Thanks to anyone who has the skinny on this news items. OY!

And here I thought this was gonna be about actual surfing....

AP says Israel, and I don't seen anywhere that Hezbollah has refuted that.

I have no idea, can't really find much on it.

It's one of those ancient, never ending games the Palestinians and Israelis play amongst each other. Israelis capture Palestinians, Palestinians capture Israelis, Israelis capture Palestinians again. It never ends, not in the foreseeable future at least.

Shouldn't be that hard to find your answer O, but in the meantime, I've been busy on this topic over at JREF.

Post #100 on my screen. might be a slightly different number for others but here it is in isolation from the thread.

This anti- war site says it was in Lebanon.

Fox counters with a conspiracy to keep the location of the abduction in Israel despite the facts?

July 12 (iffy report)

"Responding to the mounting carnage in Gaza, and the Israeli seizure of much of the Palestinian government leadership, the Lebanese Hezbollah militia engages in border skirmishes with Israeli troops. In the ensuing battle, Hezbollah forces kill 3 Israeli soldiers and capture two. With Israeli forces in hot pursuit into Lebanon, another 5 Israeli soldiers die. Hezbollah casualties were not immediately announced."


While the truth is out there, we'll never know who is lying. Best to call it questionable.
