Gaza groups set Israel deadline

Palestinian militants who say they have been holding an Israeli soldier captive for more than a week have given Israel until early Tuesday to free prisoners.
A statement by Hamas's military wing and two other groups said Israel would otherwise have to face "the consequences", without giving details.

This will be the turning point in the recent Gaza crisis. Will Israel back out for just one corporal?
And how will they retaliate if Hamas Executes the soldier?
My personal opinion is that this will lead to an all out war at gaza strip and possible street fighting in Gaza will cause a massive humanitarian crisis.

On the other hand, why should Israel release hundreds "criminals and terrorists" in exchange to a soldier that has done nothing wrong.
