The whole terrible incident started Friday around 9:30 AM, 6-7 hours after the weekend newspapers went to the presses, therefore not only wasn't there anything about a kidnapping, but from the events it looked like the war is drawing to a close after all sides agreed to a 72 hour ceasefire (which we all know now was a terrible disaster. See below for more about the terrible decision that the ceasefire was).
On Saturday there's no newspapers being printed.
In the middle of the night, Only 2 hours before the Sunday papers went to press, The IDF -Based on forensic evidence- declared the soldier Dead.
The results were that in the Friday paper there was no talk of any kidnapped soldier yet, and by Sunday morning some parts of the soldiers body were already found.
P.S Hamas used the ceasefire as a cover to plan this deadly attack. And the ceasefire was a major failure for John Kerry for a few reasons. 1.Because of the hundreds of hours that he spent working to accomplish this ceasefire only to get bitten by Hamas 2 hours later. And that was already after getting openly rebuked in Israel by the countries top Journalists, right wing and even more so by the left wing journalists who openly chided him for siding with terrorist state Qatar and legitimizing all Hamas demands, not even recognizing Israel's essential security rights and demands.
If you need an example for why @JohnKerry's handling of the Gaza ceasefire is so poor: he managed to turn me yesterday into a Bibi supporter

— Barak Ravid (@BarakRavid) July 26, 2014Kerry does not realize that the Qatar-Turkey tilt to his diplomacy makes further war more rather than less likely.
— Mike Doran (@Doranimated) July 26, 2014Kerry totally failed (again) in his efforts in the region. He has however created an ideal situation for #Israel to destroy #Hamas tunnels

— Barak Ravid (@BarakRavid) July 26, 2014So was Mahmoud Abbas also spun by the Israeli government about Kerry's ceasefire, or was that just @BarakRavid? http://t.co/KadnM9CBtz
