I've Been Thinking:

For Israel, finding and rescuing kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit is a national priority.

So when Hamas discovered that one of their most trusted people was an asset for Israel they were furious.
Israel has retrieved their informant, but the Israelis still did not have enough intelligence to locate and launch an operation to save Shalit.

The informant was the Hamas person responsible for communications. He inserted Israel's electronic bugs in the Hamas phones. It provided great information, but not enough information.
Unfortunately for Israel, these kidnappers do not use cell phones.

Unfortunately, the new information is one step removed from Shalit.
