The rhetorical equivalent of the barbarians who used to torture and desecrate POWs in front of opposing armies on the battlefield. Savages:

"Israel has found that it cannot eliminate the resistance," added Hamdan. "Israel cannot stop the rocket fire, even after 10 days of aerial assaults, navy fire and attacks on the ground - the rocket fire has not stopped. On the contrary, the resistance is now targeting strategic places in Israel." Hamas military wing spokesman Abu Obaida reiterated the threats: "We tell the Israelis... Gilad Shalit misses you and we promised to get some soldiers to keep him company." Hamas, he added, will increase its use of long-range fire. "We promise 11,000 prisoners that the Israeli incursion will be the dawn of a new day that will bring about their release, after we capture more Israeli soldiers.

Nothing you wouldn't expect given that they did the same thing in front of 150,000 adoring Gazans - 10% of the Gaza Strip's population - on the eve of Operation Cold Lead. It's doubtful that Shalit is in Gaza any more - they probably smuggled him out through a tunnel months ago and are pretending they don't know where he is - and certainly the Israeli government doesn't want to get anybody's hopes up. Nonetheless his release will apparently remain a ceasefire condition as long as Israel keeps winning.
