Germany condemned Hizbullah's capture of two Israeli soldiers in a cross-border raid Wednesday as an
"irresponsible new escalation" that could set back hopes for peace in the Middle East.
Berlin urges the immediate and unconditional release of the two soldiers, whose capture triggered an Israeli assault on southern Lebanon, Foreign Ministry spokesman Jens Ploetner said. (AP)
