Summary 
------- 
 
¶1. (C) The last 24 hours have been relatively quiet in the 
West Bank and Gaza Strip. IDF airstrikes and shelling in the 
West Bank and Gaza and Palestinian mortar and rocket attacks 
into Israel continue, but there have been no reported 
injuries. The manager of the Gaza power plant told Econ Chief 
that the main access roads to the power plant were struck at 
0130 on July 1 and rendered impassable. The groups associated 
with the kidnapping of IDF corporal Gilad Shalit reiterated 
their demand that Palestinian women and children prisoners be 
released, and also called for the release of 1,000 prisoners 
to include factional leaders, those serving lengthy 
sentences, and the sick; the GOI has reportedly rejected the 
demands.  Israeli press reports cite a Palestinian doctor who 
visited Shalit, describing the corporal as alive and in good 
condition. The al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades released detailed 
information on another Israeli soldier they claim to have 
kidnapped in the West Bank; the IDF rejected the claim, 
saying they had accounted for the individual.  The number of 
American citizens requesting assistance in leaving Gaza is 
now 97; a response from the GOI on passage out of the Erez 
crossing point remains pending.

Military Developments 
--------------------- 
 
¶2. (C) The security situation in Gaza was quieter over the 
last 24 hours, compared to previous days.  The IAF reportedly 
conducted strikes against an empty Izzadin Al Qassam Brigades 
training area and an Abu Al Rish training facility near Khan 
Younis and Popular Resistance Committee training area near 
Rafah. There are also reports of IAF strikes against 3 to 7 
roads in central Gaza.  The manager of the Gaza Power Plant 
reports that the IAF struck the access roads around the power 
plant at approximately 0130 on July 1.  He told Econ Chief 
there is now an 8x5 meter crater in the main access road, and 
craters in another access road from the sea that make that 
road impassable, and other damage.  Press accounts report the 
IDF firing 370 shells into Gaza over the last 24 hours.  No 
injuries have been reported as a result of these actions. 
 
¶3. (SBU) Palestinian militants reportedly fired three mortar 
shells and one Qassam rocket towards Sderot and the western 
Negev.  No damage or injuries were reported.

Kidnapping Update 
----------------- 
 
¶4. (SBU) The three groups associated with the kidnapping of 
IDF corporal Gilad Shalit released a statement on July 1 
reiterating their earlier demands for the release of jailed 
Palestinian women and children in exchange for information on 
Shalit, and added a new demand: the release of 1,000 
"Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim" prisoners.  The demand 
further specified the groups wanted the release of factional 
leaders, prisoners with long sentences, and sick prisoners. 
Israeli press accounts quote the Israeli Foreign Ministry 
spokesman saying there will be no deals for Shalit's release. 
 
¶5. (SBU) According to Israeli press reports, a Palestinian 
doctor visited Shalit on June 30 and said his condition was 
"good," with wounds to the stomach and shoulder. 
 
¶6. (SBU) The al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades released a statement 
late on June 30 claiming to have kidnapped an Israeli soldier 
in the West Bank: Hayman Kifr Shmu'el, born 24 August 1982, 
resident of Holon, with Israeli identity card 062866256.  The 
IDF has released a statement denying the claim, saying that 
the documents belong to an Israeli citizen who has been 
accounted for.

AMCIT Update

¶7. (C) The number of American citizens requesting assistance 
to depart Gaza has risen to 97, along with at least 4 US 
Legal Permanent Residents.  Post is working with the GOI; a 
response from COGATT regarding passage via the Erez crossing 
point is expected on July 2.
