The political fallout from the second Lebanon war continued when a judgement of Olmert’s conduct was published in the Winograd Commission Report at the end of January. The Commission found that while he had acted in good faith, the military operation failed in achieving its goal to inflict a decisive defeat on Hezbollah. Within a few weeks, the head of Hezbollah’s military activities, Imad Mughniyeh, was killed by a car bomb in Damascus. He was wanted by the Argentinian authorities for the attack on the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires in 1992. In June, Samir Kuntar was released in exchange for the bodies of Regev and Goldwasser whose abduction and killing had sparked off the war. In 1979, Kuntar had left Tyre, sailed down the coast to Nahariya and been involved in the killing of members of the Haran family in their apartment.
