"This tunnel was made by the hand of the fighters of (Izzadine) al-Qassam and they will not sleep in their efforts to hit the occupation and kidnap soldiers," the group's spokesman Abu Obeida told Hamas' Al-Aqsa radio. "Kidnapping soldiers is the only way to succeed." In June 2006 a group of Hamas and other fighters moved into Israel through a cross-border tunnel and kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. He was released on Oct. 18, 2011, in exchange for 1,027 Palestinians held in Israeli prisons.
