Hamas holding 2 Israeli soldiers; IDF: No knowledge of report

Hamas also issued a statement Sunday saying that, "two soldiers were kidnapped."
The IDF Spokesman stated Sunday that there was "no knowledge of such a report," and "the report is being checked." The IDF accused Hamas of engaging in psychological warfare meant to demoralize the Israeli public.
Sky News quoted the IDF on Sunday as saying that it believes the reports are "not true."
The army accused Hamas of attempting to spread disinformation, particularly regarding captured soldiers, an issue close to the heart of the Israeli public.

In a statement issued Sunday, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades - the military wing of Hamas - said it had destroyed an Israeli tank after its ground forces crossed the border with the Gaza Strip late Saturday.
The al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades also said it has targeted an Israeli helicopter flying over the territory. However, the Israeli military has made no comment by about the report.
Earlier in the day, Hamas said in a statement that its fighters had captured two Israeli soldiers in the costal strip.
Meanwhile, Hamas fighters continue launching rockets at southern Israeli towns. Over the past 24 hours, 40 Qassam and Grad rockets have landed inside the occupied territories, wounding two Israelis.
Thus far, the Israeli onslaught has claimed the lives of over 507 Palestinians, wounding some 2,790 others.
