Three Israeli soldiers remain imprisoned by terrorists. Gilad Shalit was abducted from an outpost in the Negev by Palestinian militants who took him into the Gaza strip. two other Israeli soldiers were attacked during a border patrol by members of the Hezbollah organization and taken into Lebanon in what proved to be the Casus Beli of the was which waged between the Israel and the Lebanese terrorist group. The condition and whereabouts of the three soldiers is unknown, though news of an impending deal regarding the release of Gilad Shalit is common.
Israel's PM, Ehud Olmert, expressed in a speech yesterday his willingness to release many Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails in exchange for Gilad Shalit. He also called upon the Palestinians to return to the negotiating table and declared the for a true and lasting peace Israel will be willing to withdraw from many territories in the West Bank. This aroused great opposition within Israel as the Israeli army (IDF) has already withdrawn from the Gaza strip a little over a year ago and rockets are still being launched against Israeli population centers to this day.
