The prime minister‘s Office, today (Tuesday, 28 October 2025) [translated from Hebrew]:

Following the completion of the identification process this morning, it was found that last night, remains belonging to fallen hostage Ofir Tzarfati – of blessed memory, who was returned from the Gaza Strip in a military operation about two years ago – were returned. His family has been notified.

This constitutes a clear violation of the agreement by the Hamas terrorist organization.

Prime Minister Netanyahu will hold a security discussion with the heads of the security establishment to discuss Israel‘s steps in response to the violations.
