After 5 years in captivity, Shalit is back home

Freed Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit has arrived in his northern Israeli hometown, his first day of freedom after more than five years in Hamas captivity.

He took off with his family for home Tuesday, leaving Tel Nof air base for the town of Mitzpe Hila. The helicopter carrying him landed near the town. He made his way by car from the helipad to the village and was whisked into his home.
