We the Nation of Israel Mourn Our Brethren Our prayers are with the families of the hostages, as well as those of the IDF soldiers killed in the line of duty as Israel continues Operation Iron Sword.
HOSTAGES WHOSE BODIES WERE RECOVERED The IDF recovered the bodies of three more hostages from the northern Gaza Strip in an overnight operation, the military announced this Friday morning.
Orión Hernández Radoux, 30, Hanan Yablonka, 42, and Michel Nisenbaum, 59, were all killed on October 7, according to “reliable intelligence” discovered in the past week amid fighting in Gaza, the military said. Until recently, there had been no information as to their status, as such they were believed to be alive.
According to the IDF, the three were kidnapped from the Mefalsim area at the same location where Hamas terrorists murdered and abducted four more hostages whose bodies were recovered last week from a tunnel in Jabaliya: Ron Benjamin, 53, Itzhak Gelernter, 58, Amit Buskila, 28, and Shani Louk, 22.
