Hezbollah said they were surprised by the Israeli response. Apparently the big plan was to kidnap and then "to swap the Israeli soldiers for three Lebanese held in Israeli jails, with Germany acting as a mediator as it has in past prisoner exchanges."

Perhaps Israel is tired of this game of trading killers for soldiers.
