IDF says it doesn’t have body of soldier presumed killed in Gaza
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTwo days after a Hamas announcement that it abducted an IDF soldier, the IDF says that the body of one of the seven soldiers who were in an armored personnel carrier that was destroyed in an attack early Sunday has not been identified among the remains recovered from the scene.
The bodies of the other six soldiers have been identified, and the seventh, whose name has not been released for publication, is presumed to have been killed in the attack.
The IDF stresses that there is little chance that the soldier survived the attack.
Hamas and other terror groups have been known to snatch remains of IDF soldiers and trade them for live prisoners.
