Quantitative considerations when rescuing hostages
Hello Rabbi,
I understood from you in the past that when they come to rescue kidnapped people, a country takes risks that it knows will eventually result in more deaths than the kidnapped people it saves. In other words, you claimed that this is how a country conducts itself. I just didn't understand what the justification for such conduct was. Why are the lives of the kidnapped people worth more than the lives that are being risked to save them?
Best regards,

Because there are broader considerations, such as deterrence and prevention of future events. For this reason, there are certainly lives taken, compared to the doubt of the lives of the soldiers (the estimates are only an expectation), and there is no doubt that outweighs certainty.
