There is growing concern that a member of the settlement of Itamar has been kidnapped by a Palestinian organization and that his life is in danger, security officials said yesterday.
Eliyahu Asheri has been missing since Sunday night, when he left the home of a friend to return to the pre-military academy where he is studying. He was supposed to return to the academy. The security services have collected testimony indicating that he was last seen at the French Hill junction in Jerusalem (al-Quds).
On Monday evening, the Popular Resistance Committees in the Gaza Strip one of the organizations that kidnapped Corporal Gilad Shalit during an attack on "Israeli" soldiers near the Gaza-"Israel" border on Sunday announced that its operatives in the West Bank had abducted another "Israeli". The "Israeli" Army treated the report skeptically at first, both because the announcement did not provide any details of the "Israeli"`s identity and because the PRC is a Gaza-based organization that is thought to have limited contact with Palestinian factions in the West Bank. At that point, no "Israeli" had been reported missing in the West Bank.
