War in Lebanon

Israel has allegedly issued the 'Hannibal Directive' where no hostages will be permitted. Any captured IDF soldiers will be eliminated.
Report of a separate incident where an IDF group has been ambushed North of Khiam, Southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah statement on the clashes at Nabi Sheet.
A list of 20 Hezbollah operations for March 6th.
There is speculation that the Israeli Commando mission in Nabi Sheet had the objective and was perhaps even successful in recovering the body of 1980s Israeli F4 pilot, Ron Arad. This footage claims to show his grave having been dug up.
There seems to be quite a contradiction between, on the one hand, allegedly issuing the 'Hannibal Directive' to eliminate captured IDF troops, and on the other, risking the lives and potential capture of many commandos in order to recover the body of a long-deceased pilot.

IDF commando teams raided a high risk site in Hezbollah controlled territory to retrieve the body of a slain Israeli F4 pilot that was captured and perished over 40 years ago. Israel had intel that the remains of pilot Ron Arad were buried in a cemetery in the Beqaa Valley so an op was launched to retrieve his remains, they (apparantly) didn't find him. All the cowboy stories about downed helos that came later are fluff, there were no clashes and all casualties came from Israeli strikes that covered the commando units.
