The IDF has retrieved the bodies of three more hostages.

The bodies of Israelis Hanan Yablonka, 42 and Michel Nisenbaum, 59 and Mexican tourist Orión Hernández Radoux, 30 were rescued overnight during a joint IDF and ISA operation.

According to IDF intelligence, the three were abducted from the Mefalsim Intersection to Gaza by Hamas terrorists and during the October 7th massacre.

Hernandez was the boyfriend of Shani Louk, whose body was dragged through Gaza on a pickup truck with terrorists celebrating her kidnapping.

Following an identification procedure carried out by medical officials at the Israeli National Forensic Institute and the Israel police, IDF representatives notified their families today. The IDF and ISA send their heartfelt condolences to the families.

The bodies of Shani Louk, Amit Buskila and Itzhak Gelerenter were laid to rest on Sunday, seven months after they were killed.

Pioneering

In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.

Campaigning

Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.

Voice of our community to wider society

The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
