The IDF and Shin Bet said on Monday that forces killed seven terrorists in Gaza who were convicted of terrorism and released from prison in the 2011 deal to release IDF soldier Gilad Shalit from five years of captivity in Gaza in exchange for 1,000 Palestinians prisoners.
Among the dead were two terrorists who carried out deadly stabbing attacks in the late 1990. They were exiled to Gaza upon their release.
