Den 28 augusti firar Gilad Schalit sin 25 års dag. Det blir hans sjätte födelsedag i fångenskap i Gaza.
Hamas har inte låtit någon besöka Gilad under hans fångenskap vilket strider mot internationella överenskommelser men varken FN eller Röda Korset har kunnat tvinga Hamas att uppföra sig på ett civiliserat sätt.
Hundratals israeler demonstrerade vid gräsen till Gaza med anledning av födelsedagen.
August 28, 2011 is Gilad Shalit's 25th birthday - his sixth birthday in Hamas captivity.
June 25, 2011 marked the fifth anniversary of the abduction of Gilad Shalit by Hamas terrorists from within Israeli territory, near the Kerem Shalom crossing.
On June 25, 2006, then-Corporal Gilad Shalit (later promoted to Staff Sergeant) was kidnapped by Hamas terrorists from within Israeli territory and taken to the Gaza Strip. The kidnapping was part of an unprovoked attack which involved seven armed terrorists using a tunnel dug under the Israel-Gaza border. Gilad was 19 at the time of his abduction.
During the course of the attack, an IDF soldier, Staff Sergeant Pavel Slutzker, and an officer, Lieutenant Hanan Barak, were killed, while five others were wounded.
For five years, Hamas has continued to deny Gilad his most basic humanitarian rights, including Red Cross access. For 5 years, his family has suffered greatly, waiting for his return.
The international community should act to end this intolerable situation. As Prime Minister Netanyahu stated (23 May 2011): "I think that the entire civilized community should join Israel and the United States and all of us in a simple demand from Hamas: Release Gilad Shalit."
