IDF names missing Golani soldier as Oron Shaul, 21
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe IDF says the missing soldier who is believed to have died in the Gaza Strip on Sunday but whose body has not yet been identified is 21-year-old Oron Shaul from Poria.
Shaul and six other soldiers were in an armored personnel carrier which was hit by an anti-tank missile on Sunday, but while the others have been identified among the remains recovered from the scene, Shaul has not.
Hamas claimed on Sunday to have kidnapped Shaul, even publishing his name, but Israeli officials say gunmen may have simply retrieved some identifying items from the scene after the attack.
The army’s investigation is ongoing.
