Around 11:00 am today (18/11/11) the IDF spokesperson said to the Israeli people through the media – “Gilad is home.”
Gilad is Back!
Finally, after 5 years and 4 months, he’s coming home. Everyone in Israel have been watching the news all day long, everyone is excited to see Gilad Shalit coming home.
Gilad’s First Interview
Like many people in Israel, I was also glued to the TV watching the broadcasts covering the long-awaited release of Gilad Shalit from Hamas captivity.

Five years ago on June 25, 2006, Gilad Shalit was kidnapped by the Hamas.
Showing Support
There are so many things people argue about. Some are unimportant, and some are a matter of life and death. One of those things is the issue of Gilad Shalit. Even though this is a controversial subject, I think that there is one thing we all must do – show our support to his family.
The Struggle for the Release of Gilad Shalit
On February 9, 2011, I was in Jerusalem with some of my classmates and we visited the demonstration tent, where many people have been protesting against the captivity of Gilad Shalit. Gilad’s family has been there for many months.
Gilad Shalit
During the past 3 years one man has been on everyone’s minds in Israel. Even people around the world know about him. This man is Gilad Shalit, a soldier who is still in the hands of the Hamas somewhere in the Gaza Strip.
Imagine Soldiers in Captivity
You want to be number one, to succeed in your life, to feel independent and in control of things in your life.

Gilad Shalit, the soldier who has been in captivity since June 6th, 2006, had written a short story when he was 11 years old (in the 5th grade in 1997).
