Captured IDF soldier identified, wounded

The IDF soldier who was captured this morning has been identified as Cpl. Gilad Shalit from Mitzpeh Hila in the Galillee. According to 'Palestinian' sources, Shalit is receiving medical treatment for serious wounds to his stomach and his chest. The report added that his captors were preparing to exchange him for Palestinian security prisoners in Israeli custody.

This is not good. Those are serious wounds, and 'Palestinian' medical care is so ~~good~~ bad that you may recall that most of the casualties from the beach explosion two weeks ago were brought to Israel for treatment. And I doubt the 'Palestinians' are taking the risk of treating Shalit in a hospital.

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
