"There's no kidnapped Israeli soldier and those rumours are untrue," Israel's UN Ambassador said.
United Nations: Israel's UN Ambassador Ron Prosor said on Sunday there was no kidnapped Israeli soldier, dismissing a televised announcement in the Gaza Strip from Hamas's armed wing that it had captured an Israeli soldier during the fighting in Shejaia.
"There's no kidnapped Israeli soldier and those rumours are untrue," Prosor told reporters at the United Nations as the Security Council held an emergency meeting on the escalating crisis between Israel and Palestinians.
Nearly 90 Palestinians were killed on Sunday in Israel's fiercest attack on Gaza in recent years, as the death toll in the conflict spiralled to 425 after the Israeli air and ground assault was expanded to pound Hamas targets.
