I don't see this 'kill 'em all' attitude at all. They are trying to wipe out Hezbollah once and for all. They have dropped leaflets warning civilians to get out of certain areas, and 700 missiles have been launched from Lebanon. They asked Lebanon to deploy it's military to deal with Hezbollah and they refused.

This isn't about two soldiers. It is about terrorist kidnappings. If they allow it to work once, it will get worse and worse. Hezbollah also chose to attack deep into Israel. That was a mistake.

Israel has been here before. They were convinced by the Clinton administration to leave the occupied buffer strip in Lebanon. They occupied the country to protect themselves from Hezbollah/Iranian Guard missiles for 20 years. As usual the terrorists saw this as a sign of weakness, and reacted.

This was just a matter of time in the making. Israel is not going to sit by the sideline, and wait for their enemies to get strong enough to take them out.
