IDF Air Strike Kills Shalit Kidnapper by Ezra HaLevi(IsraelNN.com) Israel’s Air Force launched an air strike Thursday morning killing a Hamas terrorist involved in the kidnapping of IDF Cpl. Gilad Shalit.The air strike, which was based on information from the Shabak (General Security Service) was carried out in Rafiah, along Gaza’s southern border with Sinai, as the terrorist, Nafez Mantzour, was driving with two other Hamas terrorists.The first missile missed the vehicle, according to Hamas reports, and one of Matzour’s accomplices escaped before the second struck. Mantzour was killed and one of his accomplices was wounded.The kidnapping of Gilad Shalit happened in July, 2006 at Kerem Shalom. In that attack terrorists tunnels below the Gaza border fence and killed two of Shalit’s fellow soldiers and wounded another. Mantzour was also involved in a suicide bombing attack at the Kerem Shalom Crossing nearby, just weeks ago, before Pesach (Passover). The eliminated Hamas commander also used to oversee several rocket-launching cells.
