GILAD SHALIT BUNYI MACAM GILETTE PISAU CUKUR

Gilad Shalit telah dilahirkan di Nahariya, Israel pada 28 Ogos 1986 tetapi memegang dua kerakyatan iaitu Perancis dan Israel. Pendidikannya setakat sekolah tinggi sahaja dan mula berkhidmat dalam Angkatan Pertahanan Israel (Israel Defence Forces) pada tahun 2005 mengikut jejak langkah abangnya.

Pada pagi 25 jun 2006, bermulalah Shalit menjadi tahanan perang pejuang Palestin apabila mereka menyerang Israel melalui terowong bawah tanah berhampiran Lintasan Kerem Shalom yang terletak di sempadan Israel-Gaza.

Briged Izz ad-Din al-Qassam telah mengeluarkan kenyataan pada 26 Jun 2006 meminta Israel membebaskan tahanan perang wanita serta mereka yang berumur di bawah 18 tahun, sebagai pertukaran untuk batang tubuh Shalit.

Shalit was born on 28 August 1986 in Nahariya, Israel, and was raised from the age of two in Mitzpe Hila in the western Galilee. He graduated with distinction from Manor Kabri High School. Shalit began military service in the Israel Defense Forces in July 2005, and “despite a low medical profile, he preferred to serve in a combat unit, following his elder brother Yoel into the armored corps.” He holds dual Israeli and French citizenship.
Early on Sunday morning, 25 June 2006, Shalit was captured by Palestinian militants who attacked an Israeli army post on the Israeli side of the southern Gaza Strip border after having crossed through an underground tunnel near the Kerem Shalom border crossing. During the morning attack, two Palestinian militants as well as two IDF soldiers were killed and three others wounded, aside from Shalit, who himself suffered a broken left hand and a light shoulder wound after his tank was hit with an RPG.

Shalit’s captors issued a statement on Monday, 26 June 2006, offering information on Shalit if Israel agreed to release all female Palestinian prisoners and all Palestinian prisoners under the age of 18. The statement came from the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the Popular Resistance Committees (which includes members of Fatah, Islamic Jihad, and Hamas), and a previously unknown group calling itself the Army of Islam.

Hamas' refusal to to negotiate about the status of Shalit or even to provide further information about his safety strained the temporary Israel-Hamas cease-fire enacted in 2008 and it led partly to the 2008–2009 Israel–Gaza conflict.

In January 2009, there were claims from Palestinian sources that Shalit had been injured by shrapnel during the Israeli attack on the Gaza Strip.

On January 11, 2009, Abu Marzuk, Deputy Chief of the Hamas Political Ministry, told the London-based Arabic daily Al-Hayat that:

"Shalit may have been wounded, and he may not have been. The subject no longer interests us. We are not interested in his well-being at all, and we are not giving him any special guard since he is as good as a cat or less"

On January 22, 2009, Israel indictated that it wants to swap Palestinians held in Israeli jails for Shalit as part of a longer-term truce after the three week Gaza war.
