The Prime Minister’s Office

Israel has received, via the Red Cross, findings that were handed over to an IDF and ISA force inside the Gaza Strip, where it will be received in a military ceremony with the participation of an IDF Rabbi.

It will then be transferred to Israel, to the Health Ministry National Center of Forensic Medicine. 

Upon completion of the identification process, formal notification will be delivered to the family.

The Captives and Missing Directorate has been in continuous contact with the families of the two fallen hostages, and our hearts are with them in this difficult hour. The effort to return our hostages is ongoing and will not cease until the last hostage is returned.

The public is requested to respect the families’ privacy and to refrain from spreading rumors and unofficial and unverified information.
