Wow...I just read the story about Gilad and even downloaded his pic to add to the prayer thread!! Prayers up for both of these heroes!!
Yes, his is an interesting story. Caught as a pawn between HAMAS, and the hundreds more Israelis who could be killed by the terrorist prisoners held by Israel HAMAS is demanding in exchange for Gilad.
I imagine the militant secrecy HAMAS is keeping about his location is the only thing that has prevented the IDF, Shin Bet, and Mossad from swooping in and collecting him safely.
