This Zeev Schiff article is important not only because it reports a pattern of Hezbollah operations, but because it shows that rather than the July 12 operation being timed to influence the debate over Iran's nuclear weapons program, it was simply a matter of opportunity. There is also an interesting claim here about an Israeli warning to Hezbollah.
Kidnap of soldiers in July was Hezbollah's fifth attempt - Haaretz - Israel News: "The abduction of Israel Defense Forces reservists Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser, which sparked the war in the north, was the fifth attempt by Hezbollah to kidnap IDF soldiers. "
