You are just avoiding answering the question.

I know the purpose of why they captured the soldiers. What I am asking is why didn't they capture civilians instead? They could still try to negotiate an exchange with civilian captives.

If Hezbollah's sole purpose (like you claim) is to simply kill Jews and cause terror (sic), then why did they go after military captives in this situation? Surely civilians would be easier to capture and would be worth as much in an exchange.

Could it be that Hezbollah does actually have a military goal, and they didn't just wake up one day wanting to kill Jews?
