Not that I really know,* but yes. I don't think they were connected. I don't think that Hezbollah can just kidnap Israeli soldiers whenever they like. I wish I could remember where I read the following, but my understanding is that the Israeli unit on the border had these two humvees out alone, without cover, etc., and the local Hezbollah commander saw them there and went for it. I think Hezbollah would have done the same things on other occasions had the opportunity presented itself, and it was just happenstance that this happened now.
