you allege he hinted at a kidnapping and you should support it. You should not expect other readers to subscribe to a site you link to in order to read a mysterious "hint"...

In his address, Meshal mentioned Hassan Salameh, a Hamas official serving a life sentence for sending suicide bombers into Israel in the 1990s.

“Your letter has arrived. I am aware of your difficulties. The reply will be provided by Iz al-Din al-Qassam,”
Meshal said, referring to Hamas’ military wing. Defense officials interpret the speech as Hamas’ return to kidnapping Israelis for bargaining purposes, despite the reconciliation agreement it signed this spring with the Palestinian Authority.

there is a duel response to the kidnappings first there is sympathy and support for the young men and the families involved in this, along with hopes and prayers for their safe return on the other hand there is also criticism for the political way Netanyahu has handled the situation and a fair amount of skepticism about the finger pointing and accusations, especially seeing as how no known demands for ransom of any sort have been made and the one group that has taken responsibility ISIL isn't very realistic either, I could see some wannabe's taking the name to claim credit but when you compare this with what this same group is doing in Iraq and Syria it seems unlikely this was an official operation

The real thing is not allowing one to bleed over into the other

Because there is no evidence they are involved, none. And Israel know it.
