GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - One of the Palestinian militant groups that captured an Israeli soldier last summer said the serviceman is in "good health," the first time it has given details about his condition.
Abu Mujahid, spokesman for the Palestinian Resistance Committees, said Cpl. Gilad Shalit would not be released until Israel gives in to demands to release 1,000 Palestinian prisoners.
"Gilad Shalit is in good health and is being treated according to Islamic standards of dealing with prisoners of war," he said. "We are ready to keep him for years so long as our demands are not met," Abu Mujahid said.
The PRC was one of three militant groups linked to Hamas that captured Shalit in a cross-border raid on June 25.
