Hamas threatens to harm Schalit if IDF invades Gaza
By JPOST.COM STAFF
Hamas has threatened to harm kidnapped soldier Cpl. Gilad Schalit if the IDF carries out a large-scale operation in the Gaza Strip, Army Radio reported on Friday.
Quoting Saudi newspaper Al-Jarida, the report cites Hamas's Syrian-based leader Khaled Mashaal, saying that he made an agreement with Iranian partners to increase violence against Israel which includes a threat to harm Schalit.
The planned escalation would be implemented in an effort to prevent an incursion into the Strip and cause talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority to fail.
