After a media blackout was lifted Thursday, the defense establishment revealed that the IDF and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) foiled a Hamas attempt to kidnap an IDF soldier in December 2009.

The group had hoped to use the captured soldier as a bargaining chip in prisoner exchange talks for the release of captive IDF soldier Gilad Schalit.

Hamas terrorists were arrested near the Gaza border trying to smuggle explosive devices, a gun, a silencer and counterfeit money into Israel, said a defense source.
