Baku-APA. Former Israeli soldier Gilad Schalit has thanked his supporters in his first public remarks since being released as part of a prisoner exchange with the Islamic militant group Hamas in October, APA reports quoting news.yahoo.com website.

Schalit spoke in a brief recorded video clip that was shown to a gathering of activists and broadcast on Israeli television Saturday. He appears healthy and less pale than he did when he was released.

Schalit says he’s convinced that the efforts by activists calling for his release over the past several years "was one of the deciding factors that contributed to my return home."

Schalit was captured by Hamas militants in Gaza in 2006. After years of failed negotiations, Israel freed 477 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for Schalit’s release.
