I've Been Thinking:

Palestinian terror groups have discovered the soft belly of Israel.
ISRAELI CITIZENS.
Three Israeli citizens have now been kidnapped.
One has been executed.
And counting.

Israel will not and cannot countenance the kidnapping of Israeli citizens.
Israel is responding with tremendous force.
Israel will use these kidnappings as an opportunity to pounce on and set right many of the smaller irritations that have been ignored of late - chief among them the barrage of Qassam missiles being fired at Israeli communities

Psychologically it is more important for Israel to search out the kidnapped citizens, even if the search fails, than to do nothing.
Once Israel advances, hot on the heels of the terrorists, there is A CHANCE that the victims will emerge alive.
If Israel plays the game of sit and wait or relies on outside interests to negotiate, the fate of the Israeli citizens is sealed - certain death.

Israel will make sure the terrorists know the price of kidnapping and brutally executing Israelis.
Think of Israel as a mother lion protecting her cubs.
