From the article:
Hamas had denied it was holding the 23-year-old captive, saying it did not know the soldier's whereabouts.
The military wing of Islamist group said it had lost contact with some fighters in the area where Israel said the soldier had been seized.
It said it believed the fighters and possibly Lt Goldin had been killed in an Israeli airstrike.

The soldier was grabbed during a suicide bombing attack which killed two other Israeli soldiers. It’s likely that he was seriously wounded and may have died sometime later because of his injuries.
