Israeli commandos freed an Israeli taxi driver who had been kidnapped by Palestinians hoping to use their prisoner to get other Palestinian terrorists freed from prison. The Palestinian Authority condemned the kidnapping, and provided assistance in finding where the kidnapped man was being held. The Israeli was kidnapped on the 11th, but such kidnappings are so rare that it wasn't until the 12th that the police realized they had a case of Palestinian terrorists kidnapping an Israeli.
