Hamas: We will abduct Israelis over maltreatment of Palestinian prisoners

[oberliner]

Hamas spokesperson in Gaza Sami Abu Zuhri warned Thursday that the militant party would seek to kidnap more Israelis if the international community continued to turn a blind eye to the maltreatment of Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli prisons, Israel Radio reported.

Zuhri said that the world was only interested in the conditions in which the captured Israel Defense Forces soldier Gilad Shalit was being held, and ignored the suffering of the Palestinians serving prison sentences in Israel, adding that if the situation did not change they would have to find "new friends" for Shalit.

Earlier, Gaza militants opened fire at an Israel Defense Forces unit patrolling near the border with Israel, Army Radio reported.

The IDF patrol was reportedly hit by at least three mortar bombs, as well as two RPG anti-tank projectiles during a routine operation near Kibbutz Kissufim in the western Negev. No injuries were reported.

2. I hope all of you who are HORRIFIED at this are equally AGHAST at the 10,000+

Palestinians in Israeli jails today, as well as at the mistreatment they suffer?

Or do you believe that Gilad Shilat is the only prisoner who matters?
