From
Ha'Aretz:
The families of the soldiers captured on the Lebanese border are demanding to know what diplomatic moves are afoot to free the soldiers - and whether a prisoner exchange is in the cards.
Addressing the media for the first time on Friday evening, the families urged the government "not to forget the abducted soldiers" and asked whether it was doing everything possible to release the soldiers. Eldad Regev of Kiryat Motzkin and Ehud Goldwasser of Nahariya were captured last Wednesday by Hezbollah guerrillas who crossed into Israel.
Only during two raids, maybe three, in Gaza (at least one in the north and one in the south in the first few days) did this seem even remotely about rescuing Shalit. I can only guess at what is or isn't being done by Israel to recover them now that more soldiers have been taken or how some of the most agressive behavior twoard civilians is designed to ensure their safety. I know their rescue probably had little to do with the destruction of the famous Beirut Lighthouse or the massacre of 32 civilians, 15 of them children in a single strike.
