My hunch? :The kidnappers would not return the hostages. Nor would the civilian populations of areas in which they are hiding pressure them to return the hostages. When a nation is so utterly hated by its neighbours as Israel is, co-operation levels from said neighbours tend to be quite low, especially when you are threatening them with outright destruction. You would prove yourself to be an evil scourge in their eyes (if Israel hasn't already -to Palestinians I mean, not me-), and my guess is that they would defy you, as per usual. You would be forced to follow through with your genocide, or have your bluff called.

Please explain why should we be afraid from action of our enemy, due to our self defence methods.

Don't be afraid. That's what I'm trying to say, after all of this side-tracking and waffle.
