Freed Palestinian prisoners Yehia Sanwar, Hassan Bedran and Ahlam Tamimi on Tuesday thanked Egypt for its role in securing the Shalit deal.
Senwar said the deal "was a massive achievement for the Izz al-Din al-Qassam, the resistance and our people who have suffered and sacrificed for this moment." He also declared: "We shall do everything in our power to free the prisoners, whatever the cost may be." (Ynet)
