The bodies of two hostages were recovered in a daring military operation in the Khan Younis area of Gaza overnight Wednesday and returned to Israel. Gadi Haggai, H’yd, 72, and his wife, Judith Weinstein Haggai, H’yd, 70, were brutally murdered, and their bodies were abducted from Kibbutz Nir Oz during the October 7 massacre by terrorists from the Mujahideen Brigades, the terror group that abducted and murdered the Bibas family, H’yd. Their deaths were confirmed in December 2023. The location of their bodies was discovered during a Shin Bet interrogation of a captured terrorist. The rescue operation was carried out by IDF forces under the Southern Command with the aid of special forces and Military Intelligence. Gadi and Judith were both US citizens, and Judith also held Canadian citizenship. (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)
