Well thank you and ditto.
Officially it was to get prisoners released by trade. Their real goal was ocourse to get media attention and to spark some sort of reaction by Israel.
And to answer your next question
.. why do we and the press let them have that attention?
Human nature I suppose and free press that "has" to report such things.. Israel played it right into their hands by goig all out against them and surrounding targets.
now... i really have to go.
