Hamas Behind Soldier's Abduction
(Ha'aretz) Yoel Marcus - There is no doubt that Hamas is behind Cpl. Gilad Shalit's abduction. The fact that a Hamas cabinet minister is reporting on Shalit's medical condition proves that Hamas officials know where the soldier is and can return him in the blink of an eye. They believe Israel will cave in to wholesale extortion. This time, however, they found Israel not trembling but stubborn, an Israel that settles scores and is in no hurry to give in.
