(Jerusalem Post) Abu Abir, a spokesman for the Palestinian Resistance Committees, told Al-Jazeera TV Wednesday that his group was holding Eliyahu Asheri, 18, a resident of Itamar in the West Bank, who went missing on Sunday. He later presented Asheri's identification card at a press conference in Gaza. He said Asheri, a student at the Neveh Tzuf pre-military academy, would be "butchered in front of TV cameras" if the IDF operation in Gaza did not stop. According to Abu Abir, the PRC had formed a special unit consisting of several dozen gunmen to kidnap IDF soldiers and settlers in the West Bank. "We will continue our attacks on Israel until the leaders of Israel are brought to their knees," he said.
