(Ynet News) Hassan Shaalan - Noam Shalit, father of former captive Gilad Shalit, told reporters on Thursday, "It's a transition from being isolated for five and a half years, nearly 2,000 days without daylight." In response to a question quoting Hamas' statement that Shalit was not tortured in captivity, his father said: "I suggest you take anything Hamas says with a grain of salt. Gilad underwent very difficult things during his captivity. I won't go into that now....His treatment did improve a little bit over time."
