Mass march for captive soldier divides Israel (AP)

July 6th, 2010

Israelis march in support of the release of captured Israeli soldier Gilad Schalit in Tel Aviv, Israel, Monday, July 5, 2010. The family of the captured Israeli soldier initiated a 12-day march from Schalit's home to Jerusalem to press Israeli leaders to make a deal with his Hamas captors to free him. Schalit was taken captive four years ago during a cross-border raid by militants from the Gaza Strip. (AP Photo/Ariel Schalit)AP - Thousands of marchers brought Israel’s cultural and financial capital to a standstill, urging the government to do whatever it takes to win freedom for a soldier captured four years ago by Gaza militants. Near Israel’s border with Gaza, thousands more gathered for a concert led by a world-famous conductor to press Hamas to let the Red Cross visit the soldier for the first time.
