Two articles that just don't seem to mesh very well together:

According to the Associated Press:

Israel offered an incentive to the Islamic militant group [Hamas] Monday, saying it will consider releasing millions of dollars and freeing Palestinian prisoners if the Palestinian government moderates itself and an Israeli soldier captured in June by Hamas-linked militants is freed.

According to Haaretz:

Members of terror organizations who were released from Israeli custody after being defined as not having "blood on their hands" perpetrated 14 terror attacks in the past several years. In them, 132 Israeli civilians were killed and many others were injured, according to a report released over the weekend by the Almagor Terror Victims Association.

At least Israel only said it "would consider" the release.
