I have one tiny request of just one of the IDF soldiers that will be escorting Samir Kuntar to the prisoner exchange.
The deal will take place as follows:
- Kuntar and the four other prisoners were transferred from jail to a military facility near Rosh Hanikra on Tuesday night.
- Simultaneously, 23 trucks carrying 199 bodies of Hizbullah fighters began making their way to the Rosh Hanikra area.
- Regev and Goldwasser are expected to arrive at the exchange point in Rosh Hanikra at 9 am.
- The two soldiers will then be identified in a process which may take several hours.
- At the end of the identification process, Major-Generals Gadi Shamni and Elazar Stern will arrive at the homes of the captives’ families and will inform them of their loved ones fate.
- The families will make their way to the Shraga Camp in the Nahariya area, where they will meet the two soldiers. (If the troops are returned dead, their funerals are likely to be held on Thursday.)
- Upon the completion of the investigation, the five prisoners and 199 bodies will be transferred to Lebanon.
My request? Kindly give him back with a few ounces of lead inside his head.
I think it would send the perfect message back to Hezbullah and Hamas.
There was an episode of “The Unit” called Bait. (Warning, spoiler at the link, though by posting this reference here it probably gives away the spoiler anyway.)
You should get your hands on it and watch it, if only for the ending.
