Report: Soldiers captured by Hezbollah seriously and critically hurt

[oberliner]

The two Israel Defense Forces soldiers captured by Hezbollah guerrillas
last summer suffered serious and critical injuries in the attack that sparked a monthlong war, military officials said Wednesday, providing the first details of the conditions of Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev at the time of their abduction.

One of the soldiers was in critical condition after Hezbollah launched its cross-border attack on July 12, while the other was seriously wounded, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity under military rules. Military censors had previously prohibited publication of their conditions.

"The amount of blood left behind and other indications such as the blast damage caused to the vehicles carrying the soldiers point to the fact that they were seriously wounded, with one left in critical condition," a security source said.
