Gilad Shalit
Four years ago today (secular calendar) on June 25, 2006, Gilad Shalit was kidnapped by hamas terrorists in a cross-border raid.
The other two members of his tank’s crew were killed in the attack.
Although Israel expended serious effort, including an invasion of Gaza, trying to rescue Gilad, they were ultimately unsuccessful.
Gilad’s cruel and merciless captors have continually refused Red Cross members or any other observers visit Gilad or verify his health.
Please continue to remember Gilad ben Aviva in your tefilos, learning and tehilim.
