Missing Israeli soldier Hadar Goldin \\\'dead\\\'

Israel's army says a soldier reported missing in Gaza on Friday is dead, after investigations in the Rafah area. Hadar Goldin was believed to have been captured by militants during fighting, leading to the collapse of a ceasefire shortly after it had been declared. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has said the operation in Gaza will continue until it restores security to Israelis. Health officials in Gaza say 30 Palestinians died early on Sunday as Israeli air strikes continued. Israeli media also reported fresh militant rocket attacks into Israel. Media reports also say that Israeli forces have withdrawn from some areas of Gaza to a "temporary security strip" to reassess operations. The Gaza officials say that 1,740 Palestinians have now been killed and 9,080 injured since the conflict began more than three weeks ago. Confirmation of Lt Goldin's death means 66 Israelis have now died in the fighting, all but two of them soldiers. A Thai worker in Israel also died. The Israel Defense Forces say 3,127 rockets have been fired from Gaza since 8 July, according to BBC.
