A Hamas spokesperson said that Hamas was continuing to demand the release of 9 female terrorists who were not included in the list of over 1,000 to be released in exchange for Gilad Shalit. According to the spokesperson, Israel's refusal to release these terrorists is a “violation of our agreement.”

The spokesperson said that Hamas had prepared a list of the “missing” terrorists and that it was transferred to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, and was awaiting Israel's response.
