Mere days after kidnapping teenage IDF soldier Gilad Shalit, palestinian terrorists are now claiming that they kidnapped missing Israeli teenager Eliyahu Ashri. The terrorist group – PRC (Palestinian Resistance Committee according to Ynet and JPost; Popular Resistance Committee according to Ha’aretz) – issued a statement this morning:
“One of our elements in the West Bank succeeding in kidnapping the settler as part of a chain of reactions against the Zionist attack, and as revenge for the blood of Palestinian martyrs..We have information about the attack, but we will not pass it on at this point in order to keep the ball in the Zionist court, and so that the Zionists continue in their [military] confusion. We will allow actions on the ground to speak for us.”
The IDF and police are taking this claim seriously.
Once again, I ask that you have Eliyahu in your prayers, in addition to Gilad.
