Two Israeli citizens, one of them Mengisto, are being held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said last month, a situation that could lead to demands for a prisoner exchange between Israel and the Islamist militant group. Hamas, the Palestinian enclave's dominant faction, declined to confirm or deny it had the captives. (Photo by Amir Cohen/Reuters)
