Following a recent report released by the London-based Arabic al-Shark al-Awsat that Israel knows the whereabouts of Gilad Shalit, and continues to monitor the location, but is not attempting a rescue mission because there are large quantities of explosives in the area around him.

The Arabic al-Quds al-Arabi states the earlier report is incorrect and Israel does not know of the captive soldier’s whereabouts, pointing out the report is intended to boost the Zionist morale and to deliver a blow to the resistance.
