    Islamist militant group Hamas said last Sunday it had captured Oron Shaul, giving his name and army ID number, but did not release a photograph of him in their hands.

    The Israeli military said a special committee had reviewed all the information available to them and had decided that Shaul did not survive the assault, which killed six other soldiers.

    “The committee concluded that Staff Sergeant Oron Shaul is defined ‘a soldier killed in action whose burial site is unknown’,” it said in a statement.

    More than a month ago, the government told me that those three kids were probably still alive. Now it is telling me this poor guy is dead. Frankly, I hope they are wrong again and they ought to proceed with the hope he can be rescued.
