Eye on the Enemy: Corruption in Mossad

Kidnapping video clip: the uneasy images, the easy kidnapping
Ma'ariv 

"Without much difficulty and without any resistance" this is the most important conclusion that emerges from the film, which showed the capture of two "Israeli" soldiers on Friday.

The film hides the biggest mystery: were the soldiers alive when captured?
At this point the film stops abruptly. This moment was the most severe. There is no doubt that Hizbullah captured the moment during which the soldiers were pulled from the Hummer, but he keeps for himself the possibility of exposing that to another date.

The "Israeli" army believes that the film could be a counter-response to the "campaign of Lebanon" launched by the "Israeli" army in the recent period, led by the "IDF" Spokesman Yoav Mordechai, and by which strongly-worded messages are being transferred by the senior officers in the army against Hizbullah.

Hizbullah Footage: the unbearable ease of the kidnapping
Haaretz, Amos Harel

"The video footage presented by Hizbullah disturbed everyone who was there, in the dreary summer of 2006 on the border with Lebanon.
It seems that there are details of which Hizbullah likes to keep to himself, and especially the question of whether the two soldiers were alive when captured. After watching the film, some interesting observations can be noted: the unbearable ease of the capturing operation; the inability of the patrol to respond; the general "Israeli" neglect.

About the Assassinated Chief of Staff

The kidnapping is the most important achievement for Mughniyeh, who was the second most important person in Hizbullah and died in Damascus in 2008. The whole kidnapping tactics of the soldiers Goldwasser and Regev were made by Mughniyeh. In "Israel", where they tend, in general, to underestimate their Arab enemies, showed great respect to the intelligent mind of Mughniyeh.

Some said that this is the reason why the bomb was particularly put in his car seat headrest.
The timing of disclosing the kidnapping film of Goldwasser and Regev via the Lebanese news channel "al-Mayadeen" is not a coincidence. After the Second Lebanon War, Hizbullah won sympathy and respect beyond the limits of the Arab and Islamic world, but today this organization stands in front of many crises that have significantly tarnished its image.

The crisis in Syria and the absolute support of Nasrallah to the dictator Bashar al-Assad, and the rumors about the participation of Hizbullah fighters in the fighting alongside the "Chabbeha" and security forces, have negatively affected the image of Hizbullah. Moreover, the confrontations in Syria that turned into a war between Sunni and Alawite sects, showed the Shiite organization of Hizbullah as representative for the "devil" in Lebanon.

Another indication of the impact of the clashes in Syria on the decision to release the film, can be seen in the presentation of Ghassan Ben Jeddo; in his monologue that lasted for about two minutes he hailed the resistance that kidnapped the two "Israeli" soldiers to liberate prisoners from "Israeli" jails, and the professionalism shown by guerrillas of Hizbullah. That was in response to the criticism and accusations made by the leaders of Arab countries, who severely attacked the organization after the kidnapping. He hinted in his talk, to Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal who depicted the kidnapping as an adventure. This same state of Saudi Arabia supports the rebels in Syria today, and according to various reports, it provides them with money and arms.

The presenter of the program, who published the kidnapping footage, Ghassan Ben Jeddo is very close to Hizbullah, he was a talented senior journalist at Al-Jazeera, and he was the first person to interview the Secretary General of Hizbullah (Sayyed) Hassan Nasrallah during the Second Lebanon War, before leaving the channel that began expressing its opposition to the Syrian regime. Ben Jeddo resigned from the channel and announced his intention to lead a large project media in the Arab world, and after several months he established a news channel called "al-Mayadeen". In one of the channel's programs, the kidnapping film was broadcasted and Ben Jeddo hosted in the program, Samir Kuntar, and also revealed that Hizbullah would reveal other images of the kidnapping in the future, but did not assign a specific date.

Deputy Chief of the Galilee Division after the kidnapping clip: It's very hard
Ynet - Yoav Zitun

The "IDF" has not responded yet officially to Hizbullah's release of footage documenting the kidnapping of reservists Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev, but senior officers who took part in the Second Lebanon War are express themselves.
"The video is part of Hizbullah's psychological warfare. We didn't need the documentation to learn the lessons we have already learned " said Colonel Dror Platin, who served as deputy chief of the Galilee Division during the kidnapping incident.

Platin estimates that the footage from the July 12, 2006 kidnapping of the reservists is genuine, "It didn't surprise me and didn't show anything we didn't know of. We knew most of what is seen in the video and Hizbullah men who were at the scene left lots of traceable trails."

Colonel Platin who is currently a security advisor says that "This move by Hizbullah is part of their psychological warfare." "They've been doing it for years. They've always documented their actions."
When asked about how the images have affected him personally, he said it's obviously very hard when soldiers are killed or kidnapped, "Since that morning, I've been thinking of it, but you can't turn back time. Only in retrospect, people say everything was avoidable."

The video, published by the new al-Mayadeen network, shows a Hizbullah cell crossing the northern border and opening fire on an "IDF" Hummer from several dozen meters away.
Sources in the security establishment who have seen the clip estimated that at least some of it is authentic.
