Summary based only on the video description
On July 12, 2006, Hezbollah militants launched a surprise attack on an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) unit stationed along the Lebanese border. During the assault, two Israeli soldiers, Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev, were abducted.
To divert attention, Hezbollah simultaneously fired rockets at Israeli border communities. In response to these hostile actions, Israel initiated a military incursion into Lebanon.
