Gilad Shalit’s father declines to comment on assassinations

Noam Shalit, the father of IDF soldier Gilad Shalit, offers no comment on the assassination of his son’s abductors, but says he hopes the rocket fire ceases.

“We are not responding to the assassination of Al-Attar. The only thing we wish is that the quiet will be restored to the southern communities, and that all IDF soldiers will come home safely,” he says, according to Walla.
