Title:Most likely they are dead

Hizbullah abucted these two in order to trade
them for Kuntar. There is no value in Hizbulla`s
denying to provide proof that they are alive.
If they are alive it would benefit Hizbullah to
show a video or pictures of them in captivity -
in order to sway Israeli public opinion to
push for a deal.

As it is the silence would indicate they died
from their injuries.
