Gilad Shalit (born 28 August 1986) is an Israeli soldier who was kidnapped on 25 June 2006 by Palestinian militants in a cross border raid from the Gaza Strip on the crossing Kerem Shalom (in Israel) and has been held hostage by Hamas since.

Gilad Shalit (born 28 August 1986) is an Israeli soldier who was kidnapped on 25 June 2006 by Palestinian militants in a cross border raid from the Gaza Strip on the crossing Kerem Shalom (in Israel) and has been held hostage by Hamas since.
Shalit, a soldier of the IDF’s Armor Corps, held the rank of corporal at the time of the incident but has since been promoted to staff sergeant.
He became the first Israeli soldier captured by militant Palestinian forces since Nachshon Wachsman in 1994. His abduction and the following cross border raid by Hezbollah, resulting in the abduction of Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev into Lebanon, occurred prior to the conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon during summer 2006.
Shalit holds French citizenship, a fact that encouraged France and the European Union to be involved to some extent in the efforts to release him. Hamas has barred the International Red Cross from seeing him, and demands the release of 450 Palestinian prisoners.

Do you believe this?
There will be some Twitter maintenance (ok, their provider has to do something) right at the same moment people in Iran are fighting for their freedom.
They say “the timing of this maintenance period is not within our control”.. WTF???
CALL your provider! Tell your provider to propone the maintenance! Explain them why it is important Twitter keeps on function during this special event right now in Iran!
