Update 2: Israpundit has a bit more more (also check main page of Israepundit for some more posts)

Maybe this is going to get much bigger very soon?

Update: Jerusalem Post has much more about it.

IDF enter Lebanon for search for soldiers

The Defense Ministry confirmed early Wednesday afternoon that two IDF soldiers had been kidnapped by Hizbullah. IDF ground troops had been sent into Lebanon to search for the two. IAF jets, helicopters and UAVs were also flying above Lebanon searching for the soldiers. Simultaneously, Navy gunboats were shelling Hizbullah targets in Lebanon.

Hizbullah's Al Manar TV broadcast earlier Wednesday that the organization had kidnapped the two soldiers. A senior Hizbullah official said that at least one of the allegedly kidnapped soldiers was still alive.


Hezbollah has taken two Israeli soldiers as hostages. Israel is holding Lebanon responsible.
