BREAKING: IDF SPOX TO BRIEF MEDIA ON KIDNAP INVESTIGATION AT 8:00 ISRAEL TIME; UPDATED: DEAD?

The IDF spokesman is to brief the media about the investigation into the kidnapping of Gilad Shaar, Naftali Frenkel and Eyal Yifrach a little more than 20 minutes from now.

The Hebrew term used is yimsor hodaa (will give a notice), which could mean anything from a mundane update to something very significant (link in Hebrew).

Rumors point toward the latter. The IDF is focusing its search on a house in Hebron

Stay tuned.

UPDATE 12:44 PM BOSTON TIME

Unfortunately, the news may not be good. Just saw this on Facebook:

For those who don't read Hebrew, the third entry says 'Palestinian sources: IDF found the bodies of the three missing persons in the Hebron area,' the fifth entry says 'Preliminary: Kidnap victims found lifeless' and the seventh entry says 'Three bodies together.'

The source for the third and fifth items is rotter.net.
