Saturday, June 25, 2011 marks the fifth anniversary of Shalit's capture. Shalit, grabbed by militants who tunnelled into an Israeli army border position on June 25, 2006 and took him into the Gaza Strip, has become a powerful symbol for Israelis, many of whom do compulsory military service and identify with his plight.
