The Gilad Schalit 'Freedom March,' demanding the release of captured IDF soldier Gilad Schalit, headed into its sixth day on Friday, as participants continued their journey towards Jerusalem.
In an interview with Channel 2 News, Aviva Schalit expressed her surprise at the amount of people participating in the march. 'We are walking at the front and we cannot see an end to the followers behind us,' she commented in the interview. 'The amount of people participating is above and beyond what we expected for,' added Aviva. 'I understand the considerations of the Prime Minister, but the security apparatus can handle a rescue from an area with terrorists.'"
