In a statement, the IDF said Sgt. Oron Shaul, 21, of the Golani brigade, “is the soldier whose identification process is yet to be completed.”

The combat soldier is now believed to be in the hands of Hamas, which triumphantly claimed that an Israeli soldier had been captured after Sunday’s attack. The group did not say whether the soldier was dead or alive.
