Evidence of Hezballah war crimes?

NY Times:

Two black coffins containing the remains of two Israeli soldiers were carried on Red Cross trucks across the Lebanese border on Wednesday as a long-awaited prisoner exchange between Israel and Hezbollah got underway.

Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed Shiite militia, said the coffins, which were handed over to the Israeli military at the Rosh Hanikra border crossing on the coast high above the Mediterranean, held the remains of two Israeli soldiers, Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev, who were captured in a raid that started the war between Hezbollah and Israel two years ago. Israel later confirmed that the remains were those of the two soldiers.

The transfer of the two coffins was the first confirmation by Hezbollah that the soldiers were dead. Hezbollah had refused to clarify whether the soldiers had been killed at the time of their capture or afterward, although it had long been assumed in Israel that they were no longer alive.

If Hezballah executed prisoners that it kidnapped from Israel that is clearly a war crime. It appears to be one that they will get away with, although Israel should do a complete autopsy on the remains to see if their is evidence of the crime. For example they can probably discover if they were executed as opposed to dying from combat injuries. Even if they never are able to pin the murders on particular suspects it is important to label Hezballah for the international outlaws they are.
