Wednesday morning, 07/12/2006, on their the last day of their service, Udi Goldwasser and Eldad Regev packed their things and prepared to go home immediately after their last patrol.
At 09:05 Hezbollah heavily bombarded the whole region as a diversion for the planned kidnapping of the soldiers. At this point their Humvees were in a passage in a wadi, when they were suddenly attacked by a group of Hezbollah terrorists. Under cover of the firing, Udi and Eldad were kidnapped and taken to Lebanese soil. It is unknown whether they managed to climb out of the vehicle before they were kidnapped. Nor is it known how hurt they were. Footsteps, bloodstains and a hole in the fence were found at the scene.
Immediately after the incident the first attempt was made to locate Udi and Eldad. Four additional soldiers were killed during this attempt. This chain of events led to the beginning of the fighting in the north in the summer of 2006.
No information has been received as to the welfare of Udi and Eldad.
Several weeks earlier on Sunday, 06/25/2006, at 05:40 in the morning, a terrorist group of several Palestinians crossed the border south of the Gaza Strip into Israel through a tunnel near Kerem Shalom and attacked an army facility that was within the sovereign territory of Israel kidnapping Gilad Schalit, taking him to the Gaza Strip.
Aside from an audio recording released nearly a year later there has been no information as to Gilad's welfare.
