Gilad Shalit being held in booby-trapped building

Arutz Sheva is reporting this evening that kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Shalit is being held in a booby-trapped building to ensure that no successful attempt can be made to rescue him. And apparently, an awful lot of 'Palestinians' know where he is being held.

Sources in the Palestinian Authority say that any Israeli attempt to rescue kidnapped IDF Corporal Gilad Shalit would lead to his death. According to the sources, cited by Arutz Sheva's Hagai Huberman, Shalit is being held in a booby-trapped building.

The PA sources further asserted that senior Fatah and Hamas terrorist leaders, as well as senior security officials from Egypt and Israel, know many details about the location Shalit is being held. However, the PA sources added, the relevant security forces believe that an attempt to rescue him is likely to lead to his death.

...

PA sources also claimed that Hamas provided misleading information about their Israeli hostage to an Egyptian security delegation. This placed Egypt in an embarrassing situation during talks with Israel regarding efforts to secure Shalit's release, the sources said.

But just give them a state reichlet and all will be well in the world.
