Here Is Everything We Know — And Don’t — About The Israeli Soldier Hamas Says It Captured
BuzzFeed, ^ | 7/20/14 | Sheera Frenkel

A hooded figure identifying himself only as Abu Obaida appeared on Palestinian television Sunday night to announce that the group had kidnapped an Israeli soldier. Israeli military experts immediately disputed the report. The Al Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, claimed Sunday night that they had captured an Israeli soldier named Shaul Aron. The group released his ID number and photos as evidence of his capture. The soldier was named as 21-year-old Shaul Aron, a Golani brigade infantryman.

Not good. They’ll either behead for the cameras or trade him for 100 of their own already imprisoned by the Israelis.

I hope this isn’t true. Father in heaven, please lead his countrymen to him.

If this is so, invade Gaza and burn it to the ground until you find him or what was left of him.

SO WHAT? Why does Israel focus on captured soldiers so much? 18 ARE DEAD today! Ignore him and move on with greater violence.

If true then a condition of stopping the assault must be his return...otherwise, continue until the whole miserable place is ground to dust.

Not 100. The precedent for trades has been set, it is 1,000 Palestinian fighters for 1 soldier.

Hold a public funeral for him. Then start targeting the family members of Hamas leadership. Kill their wives. Kill their kids. Kill their neighbors. Kill their neighbors neighbors.

Any Israeli soldier who lets himself or herself be captured is dropping the ball big time.

There was a saying among U.S. troops in the American West during the 19th century, while fighting Indians: “Save the last bullet for yourself.”

Ditto to what you said. Israel needs to get over it and move on. You can’t do a ceasefire/surrender every time the maggots captures one of your guys. It’s war. This crap happens.

I agree. Tell Hamas the entire city will be leveled if they don’t turn the soldier over. Then start leveling.

I also agree but the time for this was long ago.

I do not understand why the Israels have not established themselves as the meanest, sh!t kicking, SOBs in the middle east.

Hamas should have taken one look at the Israeli soldier and said "We don't want him. The consequences of taking him captive are just too great."

AND it should have started this way from the beginning. For each rocket launched into Israel, one square block of a Gaza town will be destroyed. With no warning on which block it will be.

The Muslims only understand the "Strong Horse", Isreal needs to be that Strong Horse whether Hamas likes it or not.

As I recall when the Islamic terrorists tried this stuff on some Russians in the Middle East a few years ago, the Spetznaz went in and killed all of the perps and all of their families and destroyed their homes.

We don’t eat pork. Nothing says that other uses are forbidden. Oh, and to save a life nearly any law may be broken (provided that there is no other alternative).
