Word has it that, prior to Qana, there was almost a deal for them and a cease fire. Strange as it sounds, it's unlikely that Hezbollah will kill these two soldiers for three reasons:

A) As aggressive as Israel's response has been, it could be much worse, and Hezbollah's leadership knows that it has already miscalculated once (something they have said behind closed doors). As such, Hezbollah is unlikely to give Israel that type of justification for further escalation.

B) Hezbollah has gone to great lengths to portray itself as a resistance movement and not as a terrorist movement. Hezbollah’s efforts toward achieving legitimacy beyond Lebanon's Shiite community would be seriously undermined if they it kills the two soldiers.

C) They’re worth far more as bargaining chips than they are as corpses.
