| Gaza militants 'seize Israeli soldier' as ceasefire ends | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| Israeli forces are searching for a soldier believed captured, as a Gaza truce collapsed and 27 Palestinians were killed in Israeli shelling. | |
| The Israeli military said the soldier went missing during an attack on forces trying to destroy a tunnel from Gaza built by militants into Israel. | |
| Israel accused Hamas of breaching the 72-hour ceasefire. | |
| Palestinian sources said 27 people were killed by Israeli shelling in the southern town of Rafah. | |
| In 2006 Palestinian militants captured an Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit, who was held for five years until November 2011. He was released in exchange for 1,000 Palestinian prisoners. | |
| Some 1,460 Palestinians, mostly civilians, have died in the latest conflict and 63 Israelis, mostly soldiers. | |
| The ceasefire had been brokered by the US and UN to give civilians a reprieve from the violence, and had been seen as an unforeseen breakthrough after days of diplomatic deadlock. |
