Gilad Shalit
Israel Pursuing Kidnappers of Gilad Shalit -Ronen Solomon & Arik Weiss
"People are disappearing from the streets of Gaza," a former senior officer in the PA Preventive Security Services who fled recently from Gaza said this week.
According to Palestinian sources, Muhawash al-Kadi, one of the senior Hamas leaders involved in the kidnapping of Gilad Shalit, was driving in the evening with his family to his home in Rafiah. After the car reached the city cemetery, the street was blocked by a Peugeot with its hood up. As al-Kadi turned into a side street, an old man seemed to fall in the street and al-Kadi stopped to help him. At this point, IDF soldiers dressed in Hamas uniforms sprayed something in al-Kadi's face while other soldiers removed the family members from al-Kadi's car. Taking al-Kadi, both cars sped toward the Dahaniya airport where two helicopters flew them to Israel.
A month after the event, the PA Interior Ministry announced the arrest of collaborators who helped Israel in capturing al-Kadi. Israel currently holds at least two Palestinians connected to the kidnapping. Publication of details on additional arrests has not been permitted.

Slow, but at least with Israel everyone hoped and kind of knew something would be done.
