Israel's Operation to Free Gilad Shalit: A Quiz

By יחיאל שיינפלד
Translated & summarized from Kipa by baba
The story · English

A quiz tests knowledge about the Israeli military operation that led to the release of captive soldier Gilad Shalit. The operation, named "Operation Brothers' Return," was conducted by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in 2011. Shalit was held captive by Hamas in Gaza for over five years, from June 2006 until his release in October 2011. His release was the result of a complex prisoner exchange deal with Hamas, which saw over 1,000 Palestinian prisoners released in return for Shalit. The quiz, presented by Kipa, aims to engage readers with details surrounding this significant event in Israeli history. It covers aspects of the operation, the duration of Shalit's captivity, and the terms of his release.
