Israel: Bodies of Five Hostages Killed by Hamas Recovered

Five hostages who were kidnapped by Hamas jihadists and taken to Gaza during the massacre of October 7, 2023, were killed in captivity. Their bodies were found and recovered yesterday morning in Khan Yunis, as part of the new IDF offensive in the city, following precise information about their location. These are Ravid Katz, Oren Goldin, My Goren, Tomer Achimas And Kiril Brodetsky.

The news was confirmed this morning by the IDF and the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) in a joint statement. The bodies were recovered in Khan Yunis during an IDF operation led by analysts and coordinators on the ground. The recovery of the bodies was conducted by IDF soldiers from the Commando Brigade, the “Yahalom” unit and the Egoz unit under the direction of the 98th Division. According to reliable information, it was established that Maya Goren was murdered in the Nir Oz kibbutz while the sergeant major (in reserve) Oren Goldinthe sergeant major Tomer Ahimas and the sergeant Kiril Brodsky They fell in combat during the brutal attack on October 7, 2023 and their bodies were abducted and taken to the Gaza Strip.

Why take the bodies away? To sell them to their families and increase the pressure on the Israeli government, which is what the monsters of Hamas have been doing for nine months now, supported by the Propal militants who demonstrate in squares all over the world. Will they say something about these five corpses? Will they show a minimum of empathy? We really believe that they will not and that is all their cowardice. Kibbutz Nir Oz, having learned the news, released a note: «This evening we were informed that the body of the deceased Maya Goren was rescued in a military rescue operation. After more than nine months, she was brought home for burial. The family was updated in the last hours on the operation. The community of Nir Oz will continue to fight for the return of all hostages, for the rehabilitation of the survivors and for the burial of the murdered.” The Tzav 9 movement also wanted to remember Nir Oz: “Nir Oz’s beloved kindergarten teacher, kidnapped and murdered by the despicable terrorists of Hamas on October 7, has been returned by IDF soldiers for burial in Israel. We strengthen the Goren family and his dear granddaughter Noga, who fought with us with tears and courage against the aid trucks for the murderous terrorist organization Hamas.”

Among the many things said yesterday by Benjamin Netanyahu who spoke to the US Congress, there is the emphasis on the fact that Israel is facing a war that Iran is waging through its proxies and that the Islamic Republic has not only Israel in its sights, but also the United States. He quoted a Hezbollah official who said: “This is not a war with Israel. Israel is just a tool. The main war, the real war, is with America.” The Israeli prime minister then recalled that “Iran understands that to truly conquer America, it must conquer the Middle East. Israel stands in the way. For Iran, Israel is first; America is second. We are not just protecting ourselves, we are protecting you. Our enemies are your enemies. Our fight is your fight. And our victory will be your victory. That victory is in sight. Israel’s defeat of Hamas will be a major blow to the Iranian axis of terror.”
