According to Paul Reynolds, the BBC's world affairs correspondent:

Israel will not exchange them [the 'missing', as Reynolds puts it, Israeli soldiers] for the prisoner Hezbollah wants most, Samir Qantar, who attacked a block of flats in Nahariha in 1979, killing a father and his daughter.

That's one way of describing what he did, as if he was going about his normal business of blowing up Israeli flats and the father and his daughter just got in the way.

Another would be to point out that Qantar murdered the 'Zionist' baby girl by smashing her head against the wall.

UPDATE: After an email from Pete_London, one of the regular commenters here, Paul Reynolds has changed the page to include reference to how the girl was murdered. Well done.

I emailed Paul Reynolds, he replied 5 minutes later:

"I did not cover anything up but you will understand that I have not space to mention all the details.
I stated the main fact which was murder. However I will see if I can add in the detail you mention."

hmmm... I don't think he was attacking "a block of flats" - they want to kills the Jews but they aren't so fanatical about the infrastructure
