Gilad Shalit Reception after arriving in Israel

Sergeant First Class Gilad Shalit was released today after more than five years in Hamas captivity. While holding Sgt. 1st Class Shalit in captivity, the Hamas terrorist organization denied repeated requests by the Red Cross in Gaza to monitor his condition and limited contact with him to only letters and video tapes.

See Gilad in IDF uniform proudly for first time since 2005.
