Why Did No One Know Gavriel Dwait Was Missing?

The Israeli news is reporting:

Hizbullah swapped the body of a dead Israeli in exchange for the bodies of two slain fighters and a Hizbullah prisoner at a crossing point along the border on Monday.

Israel's Channel 2 TV identified the Israeli as Gabriel Dwait, a Jewish immigrant from Ethiopia, who drowned in the Mediterranean Sea on January 20, 2005. He was 27 at the time.

But the story goes further than that.

The Muquata gives some background on who Gavriel Dwait was--and reveals why the fact that we did not hear his name till now is a scandal.
