The Popular Resistance Committees (PRC) on Wednesday afternoon presented for the first time a picture of kidnapped settler Eliyahu Pinkhas Asheri's identity card. Asheri, 18, has been missing from his home since the weekend.
The PRC's spokesman, Abu Abir, gave reporters identifying details on Asheri, including his date of birth, his ID card number and his parents' name. Soon after Israeli forces raided Gaza Strip at around 2:30 a.m., a spokesman for PRC claimed Asheri would be executed. According to Abu Abir, the threats are "serious."
Asheri, according to estimations, was kidnapped at a hitchhiking stop and is being held in the Ramallah area or in Bethlehem.
In the Gaza Strip, Palestinians sources said three people, including a little girl have been killed in an explosion that rocked the city of Khan Yunis. The cause of the explosion was not reported.
