Gilad Shalit’s 5 Years In Hamas Clutches
It’s been five years since Hamas terrorists infiltrated into Israel to kill and capture as many Israelis as it could. In this particular raid, two Israeli soldiers were killed, and Gilad Shalit was captured.
That was five years ago. Since then, Hamas has demanded Israel release hundreds of terrorists in exchange for Shalit. Those demands have not wavered.
Two years ago, Israel gave an early release to Palestinian prisoners to secure a video showing that Shalit was alive.
Hamas has not changed its tune - it wants to leverage Shalit into the release of hundreds of terrorists. That’s who Israel has to deal with - a terror group that refuses to accept Israel’s existence and which seeks to attack Israel at every opportunity.
