Hamas' al-Zahar: We will not harm captive soldiers
None
Hamas senior official Mahmoud al-Zahar slammed a video made by the group's military wings depicting Noam Shalit, father of kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Shalit, as an old man crying over his son's coffin.
Al-Zahar told Gaza reporters that the film "doesn’t reflect Hamas' official stand" and denounced the implication that the group may execute the soldier. "We have never killed captive Israeli soldiers and we never will. Our morals prevent us from doing so." (Ynet)
