The three were killed on October 7 in the Mefalsim area near Israel’s border with Gaza, and their bodies were taken to the Hamas enclave.
After intense fighting in northern Gaza, the Israeli military recovered the bodies of three more hostages killed by Hamas in the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel. CNN reported this on Friday, May 24.
“All three were killed on October 7 in the Mefalsim area near Israel’s border with Gaza, and their bodies were taken to the Hamas enclave,” the Israeli military said.
The bodies of the discovered victims were identified as Hanan Jablonka, 42-years-old, Michel Nizenbaum, 59-years-old and 30-year-old French-Mexican citizen Orion Hernandez-Radu.
Hamas is reportedly still holding 121 hostages kidnapped last year on October 7 in Gaza. The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office believes at least 37 of them are dead, with their bodies in Gaza.
It was previously reported that the Israeli army discovered the body of German tourist Shani Luk, who was kidnapped by Hamas.
Let’s remember that on October 7, 2023, Hamas militants carried out a massive rocket attack on Israel and entered its territory. About 1,200 people were killed during the attack, and more than 200 Israelis and foreigners were taken hostage and taken to Gaza. More than 130 people remain captive.
In response, the Israeli army launched Operation Iron Swords and attacked the group’s targets in the Gaza Strip. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the IDF would stop firing in Gaza only after the return of Israelis abducted by terrorists.
