Oron Shaul (Hebrew: שאול אורון) is a 21-year-old Israeli soldier from Poriya.[1] He is in the Golani's 13th Battalion of the Israel Defense Forces who is currently missing in action and presumed to have been killed.[2]
Attack
On Sunday, 20 July 2014, at approximately 01:00 during Operation Protective Edge, a Hamas militant struck an Israeli Armored Personnel Carrier,[3] in Shuja'iyya, with seven Israeli Defense Force soldiers inside.[4]
Shortly after the attack Hamas announced that they had captured an Israeli soldier named Shaul Aron.[5] A masked member of Hamas went on TV to make this announcement and showed the soldier's IDF paperwork to validate the claim.[6] Israel quickly denied the rumors, stating no Israeli soldiers had been captured.[7]
Missing in Action status
During the morning of 22 July 2014, the IDF announced that the remains of one soldier from the weekend's APC attack had not yet been recovered; that soldier was later identified as Oron Shaul.[8] Israel announced that they have been unable to identify the remains of Shaul; however, they are presuming he was killed.[9]
