Some 70 people are demonstrating in front of the prime minister's residence in Jerusalem in a bid to speed up the release of captured Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit.
The protesters placed life-sized cardboard cutouts of Shalit on the site and posted signs on them calling for Shalit to be released. A recording is playing in the background of the Shalit videotape handed to Israel a few months ago by Hamas in which the soldier is reading a letter. (Ahiya Raved)
