Recovering the Lost Soldier: Sgt. Zvi Feldman Returns Home After 43 Long Years
Mossad retrieves Zvi Feldman's long-lost corpse, hidden for 43 years.
In a groundbreaking operation, Israel's Mossad and IDF have managed to retrieve the remains of Sgt. Zvi Feldman, who had been missing since the 1982 Battle of Sultan Yacoub during the Lebanon War. The operation was a complex, covert ordeal that lasted decades, demonstrating the unwavering persistence of our intelligence forces.
The Israeli military announced Feldman’s recovery from the heart of Syria, following an intricate operation that took our agents into enemy territory. The recovery team faced numerous challenges along the way, but their determination finally paid off when DNA tests confirmed the identity of the remains.
Feldman, who disappeared alongside two other soldiers, Yehuda Katz and Zachary Baumel, during the war, was finally accounted for while Baumel’s body was returned to Israel in 2019. Unfortunately, Katz's body is still missing.
Netanyahu expressed his relief stating, "After decades of unrelenting efforts, we have finally been reunited with Zvika." The Israeli Prime Minister also emphasized Israel's continuing efforts to locate and repatriate all missing soldiers.
Meanwhile, Israeli activists used Feldman's homecoming as an opportunity to shed light on the hostages being held by Hamas in Gaza, a situation that has escalated since October 7, 2023. The activists demand their return, bringing attention to the ongoing Israeli-Gaza conflict.
A Glimpse into the Recovery Operation
Risking their lives in the most remote areas of Syria, dozens of kilometers from the border, Mossad agents played a crucial role in the recovery operation. These intricate missions were not carried out with the involvement of the new Syrian government, but rather, Israeli operatives persistently visited the site and collected samples for DNA testing.
The sophisticated intelligence efforts resulted in this momentous breakthrough, mirroring earlier successes like the 2019 repatriation of Sgt. Zachary Baumel.
The Feldman family will finally find closure, marking a significant achievement not only for Israeli intelligence but for the nation as a whole. Despite the many challenges, the Israeli forces have once again demonstrated their unbreakable resolve.
