Hamas Implies It May Have Captured Missing Israeli Soldier
Israeli soldier Liraz Benbenishti is missing, amid concerns he may have taken his own life.
But Hamas is implying it has captured him (hat tip: Salted2).

He was wearing an Air Force uniform and carried a black bag. We may hold a new prisoner-exchange deal with #Israel,God willing. #Gaza #Hamas — Alqassam Brigades (@AlqassamBrigade) December 5, 2012

Here’s hoping Liraz is found safe and sound.
Update: Hamas has now removed the third tweet above, suggesting a new prisoner-exchange deal, which could indicate they did not capture Liraz.
Update: Liraz was found, safe and sound.

I like Hamas logic: if he was wearing IAF uniform, he must be a pilot, and not any of the other 1000 IAF positions.
No haggling with mass murderers.
They lied. What a surprise!

Thank goodness he was found. All we need is another Shalit.
