The parents of the soldiers later suspected that the hostages were killed after the abduction and accused the United Nations < and UNIFIL < of cooperating with Hezbollah. p> After Hezbollah killed an Israeli soldier in an attack on an armoured bulldozer that had crossed the border to clear bombs on 20 January < 2004 <, Israel bombed two of the group's bases. p> On 29 January < 2004 <, in a German <-mediated prisoner swap, one time Amal < security head Mustafa Dirani <, who had been captured by Israeli commandos in 1994, and 22 other Lebanese detainees, about 400 Palestinians, and 12 Israeli-Arabs were released from Israeli prisons in exchange for Israeli businessman Elchanan Tenenbaum <, who had been kidnapped by Hezbollah in October 2000.

Police discovered bomb-making materials, code machines and other espionage equipment in his home.
