The Islamic resistance
group, Hamas has finally agreed to free Gilad Shalit, the captured Israeli
soldier in exchange for 1027 Palestinian prisoners languishing in Israeli
jails.

| Gilad Shalit |
Gilat Shalit, a tank
gunner was captured by Hamas fighters during a cross-border raid by Israeli military
on Gaza in June 2006. Numerous Israeli military operations to free Shalit,
including the war on Gaza in December 2008 which killed 1400 Palestinians,
failed to achieve the intended Israeli military objectives.
Since the capture of Shalit, pressure has mounted up on successive Israeli governments to reach a deal with Hamas in order to secure his release.
