JERUSALEM, Feb. 16 (UPI) -- Two Israeli soldiers kidnapped by Hezbollah will not be declared dead until there is proof, the office of the Prime Minister said Saturday.
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was responding to a report by the German magazine Der Spiegel that he might soon declare Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev dead. Haaretz cited sources in Israeli intelligence who said "difficult decisions" might be made soon after a re-examination of the two soldiers' situation.
The kidnapping in July 2006 was followed by Israel's attack on Hezbollah bases in southern Lebanon and airstrikes on Beirut. The war failed in its objectives, neither crushing Hezbollah nor freeing the soldiers, and nothing has been heard from the missing men since.
Olmert's office said Goldwasser and Regev would not be declared dead until convincing proof has been obtained.
