The Israeli army has said that the Israeli army has recovered the bodies of two Israel-Americans, taken as Gaza on 7 October 2023 during the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel.

A statement stated that 70 -year -old Judy Venstein Haggai, who was also a Canadian citizen, and 72 -year -old her husband Gadi Haggai was assassinated by gunmen of the Mujahideen Brigade group, when she attacked Kibutaz Neer Oz, said in a statement.

His bodies were found overnight in the Southern Khan Younis region of Gaza and returned to Israel for forensic identity.

Now 56 hostages are still being organized by Hamas in Gaza, of which at least 20 are considered alive.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he and his wife expressed their condolences to the families of Judi and Gadi Haggai.

He said, “Our hearts mourn this terrible loss. Their memories may be blessed,” he said.

“I want to thank the fighters and commanders for this scheduled and successful operation, and will express praise. We will not rest, nor will we remain silent, until we return home to all our hostages – survival and deceased.”

The couple’s families recalled how they went out for a walk on Saturday morning and cursed on Saturday and never returned “.

“We welcome the closure and return of a proper burial at home in Israel in Israel,” he said.

An English teacher, and Ghadi Haggai, who worked in the kitchen of the Kibutz Neer Oz, was last seen alive in a video, which he shared with a group chat at the beginning of the 7 October attack. He was seen taking a cover in an area as the upcoming rockets were expelled from the Gaza and the sound of the gunfire was heard.

Judy later told friends and relatives that he was injured before contact.

The couple’s daughter Iris Venstein Hagai said that after the attack, her mother told her that she was “shot by terrorists on a motorcycle and my father was really spoiled”. He said: “Paramedics tried to send him an ambulance. The ambulance collided with a rocket.”

In December 2023, Kibutz announced that both Judi and Gadi were killed on that day and their bodies were taken hostage in Gaza.

On Wednesday, an Israeli military official said the couple’s bodies were recovered from the Khan Younis area after an operation from the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and Shin Bet Security Service based on “accurate intelligence”.

He said that he cannot disclose further details due to the sensitivity of the operation. However, Israeli Army Radio reported that Palestinian fighter occupied by Israeli soldiers in Gaza was obtained through the interrogation of Shin Bet.

The military official said, “We will continue to work perfectly to the mission to bring back our hostages – survive, to reunite with our families, and to bury the deceased dignified. We will deploy all methods and equipment at our disposal for this goal.”

The platform of hostage and missing families urged the decision making takers to agree on a new ceasefire deal with Hamas to secure the return of the remaining hostages.

“There is no need to wait for another 608 agonizing days,” said this. “The mission can be completed in the beginning of tomorrow morning. This is what most people in Israel want.”

Israel launched a military operation in Gaza in response to an unprecedented cross -border attack about 20 months ago, in which around 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage.

One and four people, two of them were killed, were already captive in Gaza before the struggle.

So far, 199 hostages have been returned, 148 of them are alive, mostly through two temporary ceasefire deals with Hamas.

According to the Hamas-Interested Health Ministry of the region, at least 54,677 people have been killed in Gaza during the war.

Israel launched a total blockade on Gaza on 2 March and resumed his military aggressive against Hamas two weeks later, two months of Trus collapsed, during which 33 Israeli hostages and five Thai hostages were freed. Israel said he wanted to pressurize Hamas to leave the remaining hostages.

On May 19, the Israeli army began an extended aggressive which Netanyahu said that “take control of all areas” would see soldiers. Israel also partially reduced its blockade, allowing some food to allow some food in the area amid warnings from experts of a famine.

In the last three months, more than 4,400 people have allegedly killed in Gaza, while 640,000 others have again been displaced by Israeli’s ground operations and withdrawal orders.

Last week, the expectations of a new ceasefire deal faded, with Hamas and Israel on the terms of the latest American proposal.

Hamas said it was designed to release the bodies of 10 living hostages and 18 dead people, which was the number specified in the proposal of American envoy Steve Witcoff in exchange for the release of 60 days of Trus and Palestinian prisoners.

But the group also reiterated its demands for guarantee that the Trus would lead to a permanent ceasefire with a permanent ceasefire, and would lead to a complete Israeli return from Gaza, and resume unrestricted assistance delivery.

Israel denied Hamas’s statement, and Witcoff said it was completely unacceptable. But a Hamas official insisted that he had worked positively and responsible.
