Well...
It's 5 dead. They also died before the bodies were found. The Israeli army sent in troops to look for the missing citizens, which they should. They were often met with resistance, which included live fire, molotov cocktails, grenades, etc...
And the people they arrested were all Hamas members from the West Bank. Also, the case has been solved. They know exactly who did it. They were Hamas operatives (whether or not they were working under Hamas' orders has yet to be determined).
You have your facts mixed up or you are purposely mixing them to make this look like a case of heavy handed retribution. In reality, everything your complaining of happened before Israel had any knowledge of the deaths and was done in an attempt to located the missing Israelis.
