The three Israel Defense Forces soldiers whose bodies were returned to Israel in January's prisoner exchange were killed by "mistake," Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah said Thursday.

"A mistake was made," Nasrallah said. "We expected the Israeli vehicles to be armored." The explosive device used against the IDF vehicle in which the soldiers were traveling, Nasrallah said, was too strong for an unarmored vehicle.
Nasrallah was then asked about Israeli businessman Elhanan Tennenbaum, who was also released as part of the swap. Nasrallah described Tennenbaum's kidnapping as "a clean and gentle operation," and said he had never met Tennenbaum personally.
