Were buried today Monday 1 September at Israel two hostages Hamas who had been found dead in Gaza and their corpses were identified and repatriated.
The Israeli army announced on Friday that it had recovered the bodies of two hostages that had been abducted and transferred to the Gaza Strip after Hamas’ unprecedented attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
This is 55 -year -old Ilan Weiss and 28 -year -old Indan Stevie.
Indan Stevie, a student who participated as a volunteer photographer at the Nova Music Festival where Hamas fighters launched an attack, was buried in the KFar Maas community in central Israel.
I ask you “to forgive me that I couldn’t protect you,” his mother, Dalit, said in front of the coffin wrapped with an Israeli flag. For almost a year, his family had hoped that he was alive, before being informed by the Israeli authorities that he had been killed.
The student had attempted to flee from the point of attack along with two injured, but lost control of his vehicle, which crashed into a tree.
Later, the vehicle was found laughing at bullets.
Siri’s wife and their daughter Noga had also been kidnapped by Hamas, but were released on the first truce achieved in November 2023.
Of the 251 people who were abducted on October 7, 2023, 47 remain in the Gaza Strip but 25 of them have been declared dead by the Israeli army.
Hamas’ unprecedented attack had caused the deaths of 1,219 people, mainly civilians, according to a countdown by the French News Agency (AFP), based on official data.
Since then, at least 63,557 people have been killed by Israeli military operations in the Palestinian enclave, according to Hamas controlled by Gaza Health.
