Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi said Monday that Israel knew who abducted Israel Defense Forces soldier Gilad Shalit and where he was being held. (Haaretz)

Instead of releasing more Terrorists in return for Gilad, Israel should just go in there and get him back. We know he is alive and we know where he is and we know who is holding him (Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi). Such an military operation might be very difficult, dangerous and risky, but if a success (the only option) it would give us back the respect we loss during the second Lebanon war and with the prisoner exchange with Hezbollah.
