Israel inters remains of two Israeli-American captives - Remains of Two Israeli-American Captives Unearthed in Hostile Territory
In a grim development, remains believed to be of two Israeli-American hostages, Judy Weinstein-Haggai (70) and Gadi Haggai (72), have been discovered during an Israeli military operation in Gaza. Security services and media have reported their demise at the hands of Hamas during the October 2023 attack near their home in Kibbutz Nir Oz.
Expressing his sympathy, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu paid tribute to the families and relatives. The couple is survived by four children and seven grandchildren. Netanyahu remains steadfast in his promise to secure the safe return of all hostages held captive by Hamas.
The Hostage Families Forum, in a statement, revealed that the recovery of Judi and Gad offers a glimmer of relief amidst the sorrow. They emphasized the responsibility of the state to restore all hostages, allowing families to embark on the healing journey alongside the wider Israeli nation.
Combat for the Living: Israel's Resilient Pursuit for Remaining Hostages
As of now, 55 hostages are still captive in Gaza. Israel projects that only half of them remain alive, while the fate of three others remains uncertain. Tragically, the remains of 33 abductees are confined within the sealed-off Gaza territory, appearing in countless underground tunnels.
The radical Islamic Hamas launched a shocking attack on Israel in October 2023, causing the deaths of 1,200 people and the abduction of 251 hostages. Although many have since been released or freed by soldiers, 56 remain in captivity, with ongoing efforts to address this lingering crisis.
In response to the Hamas attack, Israel has been waging large-scale military operations in the Palestinian territory. According to reports from the Hamas-controlled health ministry, over 54,400 individuals have lost their lives so far, though these figures are difficult to independently verify.
