Kidnapped IDF Cpl. Gilad Shalit is still alive, suffering from wounds to an arm and minor stomach area "scratches," and is still being held in the southern Gaza strip, according to the Saturday night midnight update on Israel Channel One television.

Correspondent Yoav Limor, quoting IDF sources, said Shalit had received medical care from a Palestinian doctor. His flak jacket was reportedly found hanging along the fence near where he was abducted, stained with small blood spots.

Let them eat shrapnel for a while. I pray for his return but at the same time I haven't any issue with saying that I hope that Hamas reaps the just reward of their actions.
