Today marks the fourth anniversary of then 19-year-old Gilad Shalit's capture by Palestinians on June 25, 2006 during a cross border raid. He has been held hostage by Hamas ever since, despite Israeli attempts to negotiate his release. In this photo a yellow balloon floats next to a picture of Shalit as part of the "Yellow Balloon Campaign" for his release. The Hebrew text reads "captured."

I strongly pray that the God of Israel, Abraham and Isack shall soon reveal all its miracle on the release of the 19-year-old Gilad Shalit from his captured by Palestinians. I would like to express my solidarity with Gilad Shalit, his families and the people of Israel.
