The draft resolution did not include any demand to release the captured Israeli soldiers. "

According to the article, 4th paragraph it did..."The proposal also demands the release of the kidnapped Israelis outside of the conditions of a prisoner swap."

Thank you. ...very interesting, as other news companies said that it didn't.

Here's where I was mistaken. It's likely that I saw reports that the ceasefire is not contingent on those soldiers' release. ...unless it was changed since then. Let's have a look around to find out.

Here's one.

US and France back plan to end Lebanon fight
NY Times by way of the International Herald Tribune, France - Aug 6, 2006

"But one disappointment for Jerusalem would be the absence of any order to return its two captured soldiers, an original reason Israel cited for going to war. The only language addressing that is in the preamble to the resolution, which 'emphasizes' the need to release unconditionally the abducted Israeli soldiers."
