That anyone chooses to believe what either Israel or Hamas says is pretty laughable. They are both full of #### and will slant things their way, and both want some control of the information. For instance...

After the initial publication of this article, the military’s censor informed The New York Times that further information related to the apparently abducted soldier would have to be submitted for prior review. Journalists for foreign news organizations must agree in writing to the military censorship system to work in Israel. This was the first censorship notification The Times had received in more than two years.

Hamas likewise also will slant the truth or straight up lie, such as from the same article

Moussa Abu Marzouk, a senior official in the political wing of Hamas, the Islamic group that dominates Gaza, told the Turkish news media that Hamas had taken a soldier captive but claimed the event took place before the cease-fire began.

So to say one side is the truth and the other is crap is ridiculous. Not believing either is the way to go because neither side has any incentive to be honest. It's war after all.
