Gilad Shalit was not and is not married. You may perhaps be conflating his story with that of IAF navigator Ron Arad, who was shot down over Lebanon in 1985, was captured by Amal, handed over to Hezbollah, and has not been seen or heard from in 22 years. Over the past five years, partly as a result of the deal made to release the bodies of the soldiers killed in ambush in 2006 at the outset of the second Lebanon war (which happened just a week or two after Shalit was abducted), Hezbollah has released a small amount of information regarding Arad, including a video of him in captivity, but it is all very old. He may have since died in captivity, and it is possible he may still be held in Iran. Please continue to daven for Ron ben Batya.
