Gilad Shalit marks first birthday since being freed
Gilad Shalit marked his first birthday since being freed
from Hamas captivity.
Shalit turned 26 on Tuesday. Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu called Shalit to wish him a happy birthday.
"This is a particularly happy birthday,"
Netanyahu reportedly told Shalit. "It is a birthday of freedom. The entire
Israeli nation wishes you mazal tov."
The Shalit family plans a private birthday celebration
over the weekend, Shalit's grandfather Zvi Shalit told Army Radio.
Shalit was released last October by Hamas after more than
five years of captivity in the Gaza Strip.
