Here is video of Israeli soldier Gilad Schalit shown alive though he has been held by Hamas since 2006. Hamas agreed to make a video showing Schalit's condition in exchange for the release of 19 Palestinian women prisoners by Israel.

The video is shown as part of a report on the release of the prisoners, and the report also says Hamas has said Israel will have to release "hundreds of male prisoners" to gain Schalit's release.
