Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser: The Obvious Question Everyone Is Failing To AskIsraeli intelligence indicates with near certainty that either Eldad Regev or Ehud Goldwasser were killed by Hezbollah, and with probability that both were killed.
That said, Israel is not 100 percent sure that neither is alive, and indeed infers that there is a very remote chance that both are alive.
In light of this, isn't Israel's declaration that Regev and Goldwasser are assumed dead, and its agreement to the terms of a prisoner exchange on that basis, an invitation to Hezbollah to kill the soliders in the event that they are actually alive?
