Jerusalem, 8 November, 2025 (TPS-IL) — Israel has received the remains of a fallen soldier who was abducted on October 7, the Prime Minister’s Office announced.
The coffin was handed over to IDF and Shin Bet forces inside the Gaza Strip.
It was then received in Israel in a military ceremony led by a military rabbi, after which it is being transferred to the National Center for Forensic Medicine.
Once identification procedures have been completed, the family will be officially notified.
‘All the families of the abducted fallen soldiers have been updated about this, and in this difficult hour our hearts are with them. Our efforts to return all abductees continue uninterrupted and will not cease until the return of the last abductee,” the statement said.
