Breaking: Captured Israeli soldier is confirmed dead by IDF

I feel bad for the family. They were on TV a few hours ago pleading for his return.

Awful.

Edit:

Here's the story:

Hamas leaders said that he and some of their folks who had ambushed Israeli soldiers were killed by Israeli missiles - and that there was no kidnapping.

All these deaths are awful - particularly those of the innocent civilians and those little children.
