Al Jazeera
Al Jazeera also airs previously undisclosed footage of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit from his time in Hamas captivity.
Al Jazeera Arabic aired audio of an unidentified person who purported to be an Israeli soldier being held captive by Hamas’s armed branch, the al-Qassam Brigades. In the audio clip played on Sunday in an episode for the investigative series Tip of the Iceberg, the person said he “wonders if and hopes that Israel still exists. And if so, I wonder whether the leaders of the country think of its captured soldiers and are concerned with their release”. He added: “I die every day anew,” saying he hoped to be with his family soon. “Please help,” he pleaded.
