1. I would also like better info |

There are three that have been in Israel prison for couple decades, after a failed guerilla strike ended in a brutal hostage situation and murder of the hostages. Maybe also others, dunno.

To try and get them back, or as punishment, what if Lebanon decided to wipe out scores of Israeli civilians, bombing bridges, infrastructure, and bombing refugees that are trying to flee? Would our government representatives in the United States be stating for the media that "Lebanon has the right to defend itself"???
