Palestinians, this one cost over one hundred more lives. If he was killed, he was not kidnapped, I am sorry that yet another life was lost. So on what did they base their false claim? And considering their last 'mistake' which cost nearly 1,500 Palestinian lives and nearly 70 Israeli soldiers' lives, one would think they could wait a few hours to make sure before rushing to kill even more human beings.

It was a lie. The unfortunate soldier was dead, sadly, not kidnapped. Are they really this incompetent? I've always heard they are the best fighting force in the world. I have to say I am not impressed at all.

Whether he was captured or killed by Hamas is irrelevant, the treaty was broken either way rudolph the red Aug 2014 #21
