How do you know that this was a simple exchange between live terrorists aginst 2 dead bodies? Perhaps it was only a cover up op, for smuggling in an agent, but I guess neither the Israeli Strategic Intelligence nor Mosad will ever tell you that.

My point being, what might look like an unfair exchange to you, might in turn be a very strategic move, while it also serves as means to get the soldier's bodies back for a proper burial.
