New Campaign to Raise IDF Soldiers' Awareness of Abduction
(Israel Defense) Amir Rapaport - The IDF is about to start an extensive advertising campaign to raise awareness among soldiers about the dangers of terror organization abductions. The terror organizations are attempting to implement abductions in order to fill Gilad Shalit's place in captivity. Several attempts to abduct soldiers in the area of the Northern Command have occurred since Shalit's return to Israel. In November 2012, Military Police began to increase preventative measures, including simulated abduction attempts, to raise soldiers' awareness. "Every day, there are undercover teams looking for soldiers stopping to hitch rides," Lt. Col. Nir Golan explained.
