Abu Abir, a spokesman for the Popular Resistance Committees, said that kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Schalit was wounded during Israel's Operation Cast Lead in the Gaza Strip, but would not give details regarding the captive IDF soldier's condition.
Zahar will arrive in Cairo later on Saturday to meet Egyptian officials, the Lebanese al-Safir newspaper reported.
On Friday, senior Hamas official Musa Abu Marzouk told The Guardian that Schalit would only be released in return for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails.
Regarding the soldier's exact location, the Hamas official reportedly said that "it's good that they don't know where he is, otherwise they would have killed him."
Marzouk reportedly reiterated statements made by his group that the issue of Schalit would not be linked to the cease-fire with Israel.
