Hamas shows gunmen flanking kidnapped soldier in latest propaganda clip threatening his death. new video was posted by Hamas on Monday, showing kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit flanked by two gunmen on either side. The clip ends with the sound of gunfire.

There is a video on the internet which looks like the execution (God forbid) of kidnapped IDF corporal Gilad Shalit.

Hamas put a staged 24-second video on You Tube Monday in which abducted Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit apparently appears as a silhouette reminiscent of the image from the video where he was seen talking from his place of captivity about a year ago.

Standing at his side in the new video are two masked people, one of them armed. He takes a gun and points it at the silhouette and the screen goes black. Then the sound of the weapon being cocked and a number of shots are heard. A message then appears on the screen asking, "Will the mission be completed?"

Hamas is denying any connection to the video.

Izz a-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas' military wing, denied any connection to the video clip released on YouTube depicting two armed men standing alongside Gilad Shalit and at the end of which gunshots can be heard.

"This is a fabricated video that is not linked to Hamas or its military wing," claimed the organization's spokesman, Abu Obadiya.

Well, of course they're denying it. Shalit is worth a lot more to them alive than dead.

What a sick group of people.
