Gilad Shalit, an Israel Defense Forces soldier, returned home to the many friends, relatives and supporters waiting to greet him upon his return. Shalit returned to his home in the northern town of Mitzpe Hila on Tuesday afternoon, hours after he was reunited with his parents and brother for the first time since he was abducted and taken to Gaza in June 2006.
A parade of people were singing "Heveinu Shalom Aleichim" and marching with flags as the 25-year-old Shalit was driven up to his house for the first time in five years. Supporters who lined the street threw flowers at the IDF vehicle which transported the Shalit family to their home. This is a happy day indeed.
